Amit Haller is a lifelong inventor and entrepreneur, founding his first company in 1992 – Butterfly Communications. Inspired by his early adoption of the Bluetooth communications standard, Butterfly engineered and produced one of the world’s first integrated Bluetooth chipsets and was later acquired by Texas Instruments in 1999.
Following the success of Butterfly, Amit founded IXI Mobile in 2001, taking the company public in 2006. IXI developed a mobile messaging device called Ogo, bringing Blackberry functionality to mass-market consumers. Ogo was distributed and sold in partnership with AT&T, AOL and Microsoft across countries in Europe, North America and Asia.
Leveraging his technology experience and entrepreneurial spirit, Amit co-founded Veev in 2009, a Bay Area real estate investment firm. Initially, Veev was focused on acquiring, modernizing and stabilizing multi-family assets. After considering the industry’s pervasive inefficiency, dearth of innovation and absence of quality, from materials to processes to the finished product, Amit invented a first iteration of the closed wall to start to address these issues. The systemic industry challenges and the resulting invention of the closed wall, led to the evolution of Veev to become an end-to-end panelized manufacturer, capable of delivering high quality, single-family homes for a build cost under $150 / sq ft. Veev was acquired by Lennar in 2023.
Amit is once again starting a new venture, Neovi, leveraging his experience, knowledge and lessons learned to innovate further, developing and delivering the Closed Wall System. The Closed Wall System uses advanced technologies, materials and methods to deliver sustainable homes at an unparalleled quality, 10x faster and at a much lower cost. Neovi operates a vertically integrated Build-to-Rent (BTR) community model
