CEO Kaz has fundamentally restructured OpenDoor by slashing external spending, enforcing a return to in-office work, and automating property assessments with AI to shift the company from a legacy real estate model to a high-efficiency technical entity. Operating with a $1 annual salary and an intensely hands-on board, Kaz is prioritizing long-term execution over short-term stock performance while replacing standard management with Y Combinator founders to instill a rigorous "founder mentality."
