An Airbnb co-founder has raised $41 million for his new company where he will build a small house for your backyard for the low, low cost of a regular-sized house. 

Fortune reports that Joe Gebbia secured funding for his company, Samara, which “sets out to improve the way we live,” in part by selling small modular homes called”additional dwelling units” (ADUs), although they’re sometimes called in-law homes, granny flats, or tiny homes (tiny homes are typically a primary residence). The funding comes from the venture capital firm Thrive Capital and investors include Airbnb and its CEO Brian Chesky.
