Office Tour and Earnings-Day Prep

On Q4’25 earnings day, I went inside Opendoor’s San Francisco headquarters for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the company operates in real time.

CEO Kaz Nejatian gave us a full office tour — from dashboards and war rooms to earnings prep and the team packing merch ahead of the livestream. We sat in on a product discussion, watched the team prepare their live earnings broadcast, and saw firsthand how the culture operates under pressure.

I also spoke with Michael Judd, Head of Investor Relations, $OPEN investor relations lead, and one of the longest-standing Opendoor employees (joined in 2016). He shares what it’s been like to see Opendoor move through multiple chapters — from early markets, to stock decline, to what the team calls a “second birth.”

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Opendoor livestreams earnings — including streaming on Robinhood

• How the $OPEN Army became part of the company’s public narrative

• Innovating on investor relations in a digital market • Weekly velocity and compressed execution cycles

• What a public company “second act” looks like internally

• The mission behind making homeownership more accessible

This is a rare inside look at earnings day inside a public company — the people, the pace, the pressure, and the product.
