Homergent is a for-profit social enterprise that is redefining “Home” for disaster victims, refugees, and the bottom four billion - in a way that works for the people, pocketbooks, and the planet. Our breakthrough technology, product platform, and business model enable flat-pack furnished homes that deploy like relief tents, live like hotel suites, last like automobiles, enable humans to thrive by harvesting natural resources self-sufficiently, and leave nearly no trace on the environment – for the price of a good laptop.
Exceeding over half of world housing performance at extreme low cost, our solutions dramatically improve quality of life, simplify disaster relief, and slash the infrastructure costs of economic development in financial and environmental terms. The product line is modular and expandable, enabling an initial 100 per truck refugee solution to evolve into earth-friendly mansions financed through micro-loans. Initial markets include NGO and government agencies seeking sustainable mass sheltering solutions that really work, at low life-cycle cost.
Homergent offers a compelling solution to a great unserved need in a fragmented market much larger than the Internet, and much more important to at least 1/3 of humanity. Helping us help the disenfranchised is the best way we can imagine to save people, save the planet, and scale an enterprise that leverages capitalism at its best to accomplish a vital mission - delivering that peaceful feeling of a happy home to every human.
