Meet the Modular Homebuilder Solving for the Hardest Part of America’s Housing Crisis
The residential construction market is massive! Yet even today, the industry remains slow, expensive, and largely under-innovated. Kinexx’s proprietary manufacturing process produces high-quality homes in a factory and installs them on narrow urban lots at speeds and volumes that no construction company can compete with. Now, as federal money is being prioritized for modular housing and development in these same communities, our system provides fast, affordable, quality housing:
Having delivered more than 100 homes in Chicago, we are ready to scale, having secured more than $100m in multi-year development opportunities in Chicago alone. Invest now and grow with us as we scale nationwide.

In Plain Sight: The Places No One Builds Are Where the Opportunity’s Biggest
Across American cities, there are hundreds of thousands of vacant, serviceable lots. But despite being zoned, the infrastructure being paid for, and overwhelming demand for housing, nobody builds on them. Why? In tight urban spaces, the economics of traditional construction don’t make sense. No staging space. Narrow alleyways. Strict building codes. Inefficiency. Unpredictability. By the time a home is finished, construction costs exceed what most would consider affordable.
Where others see blight, we see opportunity! So we rethought it all!
The Proprietary System That Solved Urban-Lot Economics
From Proven Delivery to High-Profile Investors
Among America’s ten biggest cities, Chicago grants the fewest new housing permits per capita. And we’ve already built 100+ homes there.
The Housing Gap Has Become a Federal Priority
How Kinexx Makes Money and Fosters Homeownership
Our model features diverse and recurring revenue streams across public and private channels, helping pave the road to single-family homeownership.
The Only System That Will Build Anywhere
Traditional construction can't make the economics work on a narrow urban lot. Large-scale modular companies build for industrial or multifamily projects. Suburban modular companies build for wide lots that don't exist in cities. Kinexx is different.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why invest in startups?
Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.
How much can I invest?
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.
How do I calculate my net worth?
To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.
What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Who can invest in a Regulation CF Offering?
Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.
What do I need to know about early-stage investing? Are these investments risky?
There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.
When will I get my investment back?
The Common Stock (the "Shares") of Kinexx (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.
Can I sell my shares?
Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.
Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:
In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:
• The company that issued the securities;
• An accredited investor;
• A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships).
What happens if a company does not reach their funding target?
If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.
How can I learn more about a company's offering?
All available disclosure information can be found on the offering pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering.
What if I change my mind about investing?
You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: info@dealmakersecurities.com
How do I keep up with how the company is doing?
At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.
What relationship does the company have with DealMaker Securities?
Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.
What is Kinexx's pre-money implied valuation?
Kinexx's pre-money implied valuation is $100,000,000. The terms of this Offering are based on a pre-money using the current issued and outstanding shares of the Company (and excluding shares to be issued upon conversion of convertible securities). The Securities are priced arbitrarily and the Company makes no representations as to the reasonableness of any specified valuation.
