We are NestBird — building adaptive habitats that scale
Our mission is to create modular, energy-native living spaces that adapt to human needs while respecting planetary boundaries. We combine advanced materials, parametric design, and intelligent systems to build the future of housing.

Our Values
Velocity Matters
We move fast, iterate quickly, and ship real products. Execution over endless planning.
First Principles
We question assumptions and build from physics up. No sacred cows, only better solutions.
Planetary Scale
We design for billions, not millions. Sustainable systems that can actually scale globally.
Build It
We're makers and builders. If you can hold it, test it, and deploy it—it's real.
High Trust
Ownership, autonomy, and accountability. We hire adults who don't need micromanagement.
Steep Learning
Every day you'll learn something new. Multidisciplinary problems require continuous growth.
