Could This Company Do for Housing What Tesla Did for Cars?
Most car factories like Ford or Tesla reportedly build one car per minute. Isn’t it time we do that for houses?
BOXABL believes they have the potential to disrupt a massive and outdated trillion dollar building construction market by bringing assembly line automation to the home industry.
Since securing their initial prototype order from SpaceX and a subsequent project order of 156 homes from the Department of Defense, BOXABL has made substantial strides in streamlining their manufacturing and order process. BOXABL is now delivering to developers and consumers. And they just reserved the ticker symbol BXBL on Nasdaq.*
BOXABL has raised over $170M from over 40,000 investors since 2020. They recently achieved a significant milestone: raising over 50% of their Reg A+ funding limit! BOXABL is now only accepting investment on their website until the Reg A+ is full.
Invest now before it’s too late!
