Boxabl CFO Martin Noe Costas: How They're Mass Producing Homes Like iPhones

Описание: Host Michele Steele sits down with Martin Costas, CFO of Boxabl, for a full update on the company’s path from private-to-public and the strategy behind scaling “foldable” housing.

Martin explains why the FGMC merger deadline was extended to March (government shutdown timing), where Boxabl stands in the S-4/SEC review process (first round: 31 comments, second round: ~11 comments, now awaiting the next response), and what signals he’s watching as Boxabl moves toward a public listing—starting with FGMC’s trading price as a real-time indicator of investor support.

They also dig into Boxabl’s $3.5B valuation context, why the company avoided a PIPE to protect prior investors, and how Boxabl’s go-to-market has evolved from a single flagship product to a broader housing roadmap.

On the product side, Martin breaks down the Casita (a 400 sq ft foldable studio with kitchen/bath, installable in less than one day) and the newer ~722 sq ft “Chucasita” configuration. He outlines Boxabl’s state approval progress and the strategic shift from ADUs to conversations with builders and developers for single-family homes and townhouses.

Finally, Martin explains why Boxabl views itself as a tech construction company, with automation-driven cost reduction as the key to solving the housing crisis—and why future moves into AI and smart solutions are part of the long-term vision.
