Meet the leadership team
Doug Brien
Co-founder, CEO
A former Super Bowl-winning NFL placekicker, Brien got his start in real estate following the collapse of the housing market in early 2009, when he and Colin Wiel began buying single-family homes to renovate and rent out. Together, they were able to scale up their company in an industry that had been the domain of smaller players, building a $3 billion portfolio with over 17,000 single-family rental homes that attracted institutional investors and competition from private equity firms. With the success of Waypoint Homes, Wiel and Brien defied critics to put the single-family residential sector on the map as a profitable and scalable financial asset class.
Colin Wiel
Co-founder, Chairman of the Board
An engineer, artificial intelligence patent-holder, and serial entrepreneur, Wiel began his career at Boeing, where he designed algorithms to improve automatic control systems on airplanes. After running a java programming consultancy that built early e-commerce systems like Charles Schwab’s trading website, Wiel partnered with Brien to launch Waypoint Homes in 2009. Wiel led the tech, mergers and acquisitions, and fundraising teams at Waypoint all the way to the NYSE, where Starwood Waypoint Residential Trust (SWAY) debuted its IPO in 2014.

Mynd is backed by leading industry investors
What they’re saying
“Mynd’s platform allows people interested in making short-term money through rent and long-term money through home price appreciation to choose a market, buy a home and let Mynd handle pretty much everything else. The platform also facilitates sales and insurance.”
“QED partner Chuckie Reddy said the Mynd team was ‘one of the best’ his firm had seen in the single-family rental market with a ‘purpose-built’ tech stack designed specifically for such properties. ‘They have a customized offering that is superior to anything else on the market today,’ he said.”
"Mynd’s vision is offering a system that shows the life cycle of an investment in a single app, from buying and upgrading to operating. In single-family ownership and operation, property management — typically a less glamorous, more commoditized part of real estate — is key to success, because homes can be so spread out."
“Mynd operates a platform that aims to democratize real estate access and help investors buy, sell or manage single-family rentals across the country.”
