I haven't added a new user to a @Microsoft or @XBOX account in over 15 years but its great to know its even harder to do most anything than it was 15 years ago. This is why I use Apple products. The user experience for Microsoft is absolutely horrible and frustrating.
One of the hardest parts of proptech in co-ownership isn't building a shared calendar. It’s engineering a system where real-time human scheduling dynamically updates legal frameworks.
We are building Klasma to automate that entire layer of friction.
Klasma AI strips away the complexity. It runs the rotation, balances seasonal fairness across all owners, and dynamically keeps the legal documents and the calendar in perfect sync.
How each one works and other details regarding scheduling in the comments below.

After launching the Klasma AI co-ownership sales agent two questions keep coming up.
1. Can I restructure the vacation home I already own into a co-ownership model?
2. How does this work if the bank still holds a mortgage on the property?
There is a better option.
You can sell co-ownership of a piece of the home. No new debt. You trade a small amount of control for a massive cash injection, and you still keep more calendar weeks than you'll ever actually use.
I broke down exactly how we navigate the mortgage hurdle at closing. Link to article here.

Across 10 years of owning a vacation home, a whole owner pays more than 130 times as much per week as a 25% co-owner. $1,879 a week versus $14.
I call it the cost-to-memory ratio: what every week in a home you love actually costs you.
Co-ownership changes the math. You buy a quarter of the home, sized to how you'll really use it, instead of carrying the whole house alone.
The memories are the same. The cost per week is not.
Most people don't even realize co-ownership is a real option.
What would you do with 12 weeks a year somewhere you love?
I break down the full math here:

Most vacation homes sit empty 90% of the year.
When my wife and I bought ours we didn't know that co-ownership was an option.
The memories? Incredible.
The carrying costs, maintenance, and logistics? Far less incredible.
It made me realize a fundamental flaw in the market: Why do we have to buy 100% of a home we only use 6 or less weeks a year?
That’s why I’m building Klasma. We are redefining what it means to own a getaway.

In an increasingly digital world, we need real, offline connection with family and nature more than ever.
A vacation home is the perfect anchor for that, but it shouldn't come with a second mortgage worth of stress.

Did you know vacation homes are the single largest category of empty housing in America?
Over 41% of all counties in America have an empty vacation housing stock that completely eclipses local homes available for rent or sale.
Owning 25% of a home through deeded co-ownership commits a quarter of the capital and aligns what you pay to how much you actually use.
That's why I'm building Klasma. We are redefining what it means to own a vacation home.

Navigating @twilio for most anything has become a frustrating time sink and its nearly impossible to get any customer support. Configuring the most simple things now seems 5x more complicated than it was 5 years ago.
This is really good 👇
This is such an important leadership principle from @boztank. Can confirm that the value of communicating *how* you arrived at a particular decision/perspective compounds over time.
I like to frame it as:
“Can I simulate the CEO’s thinking”
“Can my team simulate my thinking”

A hilarious aspect of corporate life is that we invent all sorts of structure & process to try to make 2 teams collaborate better together, hardly ever acknowledging the actual problem that the leaders of those 2 teams don’t actually get along and/or have conflicting incentives.
Does anyone know why @AskeBay @eBay only provides 3 years worth of purchase history? This makes absolutely no sense to me. I can go into Amazon and see my purchase history going back 11 years! #CustomerService #ebay

I do not know of any good product strategy that was conceived at a “Strategy Summit” or a “Strategy Offsite”. A plan, maybe. Consensus on goals, sure. But not a good product strategy. Summits are useful for alignment but they kill the creativity that’s vital for product strategy.
Hey @nlsanders how was it seeing Mitchell in a Cavs uniform for the first time against Utah today? Markkanen had a nice night.
