Jane Street’s investment reflected a vote of confidence that followed leadership changes aimed at the company’s turnaround and revival from losses.

Earlier this month, Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:OPEN) announced the return of its two founders, Eric Wu and Keith Rabois, as well as the appointment of Kaz Nejatian as its new chief executive officer (CEO).

The leadership reshuffle followed the resignation of former CEO Carrie Wheeler, after mounting calls from Opendoor Technologies Inc.’s (NASDAQ:OPEN) investors for the return of its founders.

As compared with Rabois, who is more aggressive in his business strategy, Wheeler was said to be more conservative and reactive.
