Born in San Diego, California in 1986, Shaun Roger White endured two major surgeries to correct a heart defect before he was 1 years old. Despite this challenging start Shaun proved he was far from frail, charging into sports like surfing, soccer and snowboarding at a young age. Shaun grew up in a family of five and one of the family'sfavorite pastimes included skiing. At the age of 4, Shaun proved to be fearless on his skis racing down the slopes with older brother Jesse. In an attempt to slow down Shaun when he was 6, his mom decided to put him on a snowboard and instructed him to copy everything Jesse did. Unfortunately for her, it only encouraged Shaun to go faster.While Shaun was being lauded as a snowboard prodigy, in the summertime he was simultaneously turning heads on the skateboard scene. Professional skateboarder Tony Hawk befriended the 9-year-old at a skate park and mentored the up-and-comer, encouraging Shaun and helping him turn pro at the age of 17. Participating in both sports was far from usual, but for Shaun this duality helped excel his progression.

HipPocket — It takes too long to find or to sell a home—10 weeks on average to search for a home to buy and 12 weeks to sell a home. AI can improve this but seller-focused property websites and Multiple Listing Service (MLS’s) have no incentive or ability to change. Zillow does not want to disrupt $750M of ad revenues and the 850 MLS’s are agent-only tools andeach organization does not have the ability, funds and scale to introduce AI. Buyers and Sellers will continue to suffer if this status quo is not broken.At HipPocket we’re developing an intelligent real estate platform that reduces search and sale times by matching buyers faster to more relevant homes using machine learning, and powering rapid collaboration between buyer, agents and seller through AI enhanced messaging.
