real estate
Real estate is where big money meets brick and mortar. Also plumbing problems, zoning laws, and the unique stress of deals that take months to close. The founders in this section are building companies across the entire real estate landscape. And they have stories.
These interviews cover residential and commercial. PropTech platforms. Brokerage firms. Property management. Real estate investing. Development. The kind of work where a single deal can change everything, for better or worse.
What makes these conversations useful is the range of perspectives. Some founders are disrupting traditional real estate with technology. Others are thriving within traditional models. Some think the industry needs a complete overhaul. Others think the fundamentals are timeless. Reading across these interviews gives you the full picture.
You’ll find insights on market analysis, deal structuring, property technology, building a real estate team, and the challenge of operating in an industry where every market is local and every deal is different. If you’re in real estate, investing in real estate, or building tools for the industry, these founders have hard-won wisdom worth hearing.
