Real estate is the single largest industry in the U.S., yet historically has been one of the lowest spenders on technology. The industry was (and to a great extent still is) known as being a late adopter of technology solutions. However, that’s changing rapidly. Over the last few years, proptech has created more enterprise value and spawned more unicorns than any other single industry sector in venture capital. When the world’s largest industry suddenly decides to adopt technology, one would expect a lot of value to be created. And it’s only just begun.
Adding value to early-stage proptech companies in the following ways:
- Strategic Capital
- Coaching
- Enterprise Customer Relationships
- Collective Wisdom
