Ventures
Let's Connect

Together, we develop real estate, launch startups, sail the seven seas, invest in AI and web3, design websites and brands, acquire companies, surf remote breaks, co-hosted an HGTV TV Show, and adventure with our growing families (four kids each!).

Siri, who are they?

Brothers Zach(left) and Jason(right) Francis are nationally recognized entrepreneurs, prior hosts for the straight-to-series reality HGTV TV Show Tiny Luxury. They're Real Estate Developers, web3 and AI investors, beekeepers, brand designers, sailors, adventurers, and family men.

They've launched and acquired dozens of businesses with multiple exits, while building a substantial real estate portfolio.

Most recently they made history with the very first NFT real estate transaction on the Bitcoin Liquid network as well as the first real estate transaction via NFT in Latin America.

The brothers are happily married to their respective wives and live with their combined total 8 children (4 kiddos each!) on the same street.
