Tasneem Amina
Co-founder and President, Kindred
Tasneem Amina is the Co-Founder and President of Kindred, a global home swapping community she launched in 2021 with co-founder Justine Palefsky. Born in India and raised by a large extended family, Tasneem’s early years were filled with movement between homes and relatives. “Home,” to her, was always about feeling rather than place–a core value that continues to guide Kindred’s mission today. Prior to starting Kindred, Tasneem was on the early teams of the property technology company Opendoor and social media company YikYak. Tasneem immigrated to the United States in high school, where she attended the University of Chicago. She now lives in San Francisco, though she travels frequently and considers many different cities to be home.
