I keep getting asked who I am. Who I am doesn’t matter. Not yet. What matters is this: I will not reveal my identity until one of two things happen— • 100,000 followers • or a $100M $OPEN portfolio. Between my personal holdings and my children’s trust (that I manage), I will become one of the largest single stakeholders in Opendoor. You don’t need my name to know my conviction. Thank you @ericjackson for sharing the same conviction.
