Company Summary

RedRider is on a mission to revolutionize the construction industry with sustainable and durable housing solutions. Our innovative construction system and method seeks to solve the pressing issue of the housing crisis by building modular designed homes quickly, while also minimizing the construction industry's negative impact on the environment.

The Problem

Traditional construction methods are expensive, slow to build, and detrimental to the environment. They’re also susceptible to damage and destruction in a natural disaster. RedRider is here to change that by offering resilient, faster, and more efficient construction without sacrificing quality.

RedRider’s Solution

Our solution addresses the need for safer, affordable, and sustainable housing options in California and beyond.

We believe in creating a better future for all by designing and building homes that meet the needs of families and contribute to a more sustainable planet. Our customizable homes are made from eco-friendly redwood, sourced locally within CA, and built like a classic log cabin, leaving a minimal carbon footprint, while providing incredible structural capabilities with resistance to wildfires, earthquakes, and hurricanes.

Our vision is to lead the industry in building environmentally conscious homes that reduce waste, lower costs, and promote a healthier planet. By harnessing the power of natural, renewable wood resources and innovative prefabrication methods, we can create durable and resilient structures that withstand the test of time.

“The biggest plans and wildest dreams all start somewhere. To become a reality, they need to be molded, shaped, refined, and excecated through hard work and planning. We are greatly excited to join the accelerator program focused on building such foundations, as we pilot building the ultimate shelter.” - Redrider Team
