@arnettwill@SeanHayes just listened to the Nick Jonas @SmartLess episode. Not that you need notes on the “bye” bit, but asking if Priyanka was from “Mumbyeeeeee” felt like low hanging fruit.
If you are an Opendoor shareholder, I have an ask.
Proxy advisors at ISS and Glass Lewis have recommended shareholders to vote against me at our Annual Meeting. I don’t take this personally. This is the fifth time in my career these same people have told people to vote against my team.
These proxy advisors have built no companies and are not meaningful shareholders of OPEN. They're a checkbox industry charging fees to tell other people what to do with shares that aren't theirs.
Usually most companies can’t do anything about this since many institutional shareholders will just vote the way ISS tells them to.
But Opendoor has the Open Army! It is important that we stand up against this separation of management from shareholders.
If you are so inclined, help tilt the world in favor of shareholders and away from bureaucrats.
Find out how (ask your broker, check your emails) and vote your shares. Our board is excellent. We are back on mission and we are winning.
Don't outsource your vote. Read the proxy. Vote your shares.
@SammyTourani On a per capita basis Turnstyle I think pumped out the most successful exited founders post acquisition. Team of ~30 at aq. Chep, Selli, Hunter, Devo, myself all went onto found other biz.
Of course we had some duds like @Colin_Salter_ but you can’t win em all
