Reimagining homes—built by family, for families
This Mother’s Day, we’ve been reminded that home is where love begins — and that’s exactly what BOXABL is building.
Founded by a father-son duo, BOXABL creates precision-built, foldable homes that ship anywhere in hours. Their mission? To make beautiful, efficient housing available to all, at a fraction of the time and cost.
With 600+ homes already delivered and scalable factory tech in place, BOXABL is setting the foundation for the future of housing. Phase 2 is now underway: larger, stackable units for families and communities alike.
It’s more than homebuilding. It’s a mission to make “home” possible for more moms, more families.
Join as an investor — and help build what matters.
Invest in the future of homebuilding.
