After having co-founded Horizon in 2014 to facilitate home sharing among trusted friends/communities (shuttered in 2018), I still believe the product and platform needs to exist in the world. Thus, I recently joined the MyPlace team as an advisor/investor and will use all my learnings from my Oh Hey World/Horizon journey to help realize the vision of enabling travel by leveraging the power of community.
