## About

Based in Texas, US, Uplift Microhome Corp. operates as a privately held building-construction company that focuses on providing modular, off-grid transitional homes for individuals, government customers, and enterprises. Founded in 2025 by Charlie Nitschelm and Trevor O'Leary, Uplift Microhome Corp. develops off-grid transitional housing. As of August 2026, the company is led by its CEO, Charlie Nitschelm. On August 14, 2026, Uplift launched with a USD 7 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) as it prepared to deploy its first homes and scale production. Uplift develops compact, fully equipped, modular homes for transitional, disaster, and emergency housing. The units are manufactured off site, transported by standard tractor trailer, moved by forklift, self-levelled on uneven terrain, and deployed without traditional infrastructure, using integrated battery power, water storage, and essential amenities. The company earns revenue through sales of its homes to individuals, government customers, and enterprises. The company plans over the 12 months following its August 2026 launch to deploy its first homes and scale production.
