Having this dude influencing the housing RENTAL market and in my everyday life sounds like a dystopian nightmare.

[mikyhtx]

This is great! I am looking forward to WeCrashed season 2.

The problem with a great majority of these "start-ups" is that they seem to like inventing problems to solve, instead of solving any actual problems.

[Pouwmademedoit]

Flow's aim of "giving renters *_a sense_* of security, community and genuine ownership" says plenty about their real intentions.

[ParotandArmorfinish]

So excited for Flow and its competitors to raise an unholy amount of money, buy out half the apartments in my area, triple the rent, and destroy the nations already shit rental market in like a year flat

[goranagar]

Also, "Disrupting the future of Living" probably means to Adam that instead of $270, 000 dollar homes going for $520, 000 they should be at least $850, 000

[aromagrande]

This company resonates exactly with "you will own nothing and you will be happy"

[goranagar]

If this doesn't end up as another cult-scam like Adam's last project I will be very much surprised

[WindowsR]

I don’t need a “sense of genuine ownership”, I just want to own it. Ain’t that hard of a concept to understand.

[GoHerping]

"disrupt" is my trigger word

[nixonteo]

Adam is the epitome of failing upwards.

[JamesHahnII]

His big idea is to be a real estate developer. Stunning.

[geoffreypiltz]

It's all about getting a lot of cash to pass through the business. It doesn't matter what lies you tell or how implausible or unworkable the business model is. If enough money is involved then it's easy to get a serious amount of wealth to stick to your hands before it goes belly-up.

[Agarwaen]

I'm calling it now: Flow will be basically a landlord with a smartphone app (so you can, e.g., order for a plumber). They'll ofcourse offer exorbitant leases for the privilege of "living in the future".

They'll then try to pitch their app services to other landlords by getting a cut on the lease.

[akaMokassin]

Am I the only one who has the words "money laundering" pop up in his head when he hears stories like this?

[aviztar]

I mean... at this point, I'm rooting for Adam, if somebody is stupid enough to actually go into business with him, they deserve to lose the money

[nalgene]

"giving renters a sense of ... genuine ownership"

lol so basically pay us and we will do our best to trick you into feeling like you actually own something. sounds about right for this guy.

[johnsmith]

VC isn't about good business, it's about finding a greater fool - and as we know there's one born every minute

[theoryneutral]

This has inspired me to launch a startup. A new paradigm. WECEL. At WECEL, Adam can share a jail cell with Elizabeth Holmes despite their differences in gender and criminal preference.

[fearlvrattata]

Knowing Adam's background, it's basically going to be some dystopian communal living situation that they charge an inordinate amount of money for. They're going to see the "you'll own nothing, and you'll love it" WEF quote come to life. Can't wait to see what it is.
