In this episode of Guilty By Association, we sit down with Haoyu Zha, the founder of HOAi, to explore the inspiring origin story of how a frustrated HOA board member turned his pain points into purpose—and ultimately, innovation.

From a hands-on journey managing communities to launching an AI-driven assistant designed to streamline operations, Hao reveals how HOAi went from a bold idea to a transformational technology now embedded within Vantaca.
