Tasha Russman
Tasha envisions a healthy housing system. In the US, this is intrinsically tied to our transition to a more extreme climate -- to successfully adapt as a society, we must start with our homes and our economy. To this end, Tasha recently founded HomeVitals, which couples building information with climate models to ensure a more resilient built environment. In the next year, she will validate initial assumptions, clarify initial product-market-fit, and set the foundation for HomeVitals to scale successfully in the future.
