Spencer Burleigh is the founder and president of Rent the Backyard, a Y Combinator-backed startup that’s aiming to solve the housing crisis in the Bay Area and beyond. His innovative approach involves building pre-fabricated ADUs (or additional dwelling units) in the backyard of people who have them. The result? Affordable housing for the people living in the backyard, greater population density, less wasted space, and extra income for homeowners. It’s a really cool win/win/win that’s taking off, and it just might be coming to an area near you soon. Let’s learn how this man saw a big problem and came up with a solution, getting the attention of Silicon Valley’s top brass.
