Navigating the robust landscape of the real estate industry can be quite the ride. 🎢 But when technology intersects with this ancient trade, we witness a seismic shift that alters the industry's trajectory. This transformation is unfolding as the American Real Estate Association (AREA) defies the conventional and implements its national database. 🌐 Akin to David challenging Goliath, AREA's bold move positions them as a potent adversary to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). With a background in fostering entrepreneurial success and scaling startups, I understand the implications of such an audacious endeavor - from a technological and strategic perspective. 🚀 AREA's national database is more than just a tool—it's a disruption, embodying the ethos of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS®) I've led for years: Vision, Traction, and Team Health. It's akin to the upheaval I experienced first-hand scaling a startup to Inc. 500 acclaim. This is innovation at its simplest and most powerful: identifying and filling a gap with a tech-driven solution.💡 The promise here is not just about setting commission rates or listing restrictions. It's about transforming a conventional industry into a more decentralized, agent-friendly one. 🏠 It's a path fraught with challenges, but as an EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, I can attest that the audacity to redefine the playing field determines real success. So, kudos to AREA for pushing boundaries and carving out a new path in real estate! Here's to more such disruptions and to the power of technology in shaping industries!🔥 #realestate #technology #innovation #disruption

The inaugural UK PropTech Association (UKPA) and British Property Federation event to launch their new Innovation Programme. It was brilliant to see a real mix of real estate and proptech companies at the event and shows the power of the merger, so congrats to Saminder (Sammy) Pahal and Melanie Leech. The survey data for the 'state of the market' from 250 respondents did however give some cause for concern regarding what has moved forward in the industry. "lack of the ability to demonstrate ROI from tech" 🤔 "Cultural resistance to change" 😓 "innovation being led by CTO's and CEOs" 😧 The debate on "Rethinking Innovation: Addressing Present Challenges Vs. New Market Opportunities". It was clear from both sides that we desperately need both. 🙃 Nick Wright summed up the reality we see from our Trustek audit data... the present challenge facing most buildings is that many people are still using clipboards and pens. 📋 🖋 = 0️⃣ Data So the AI takeover may have to wait a little longer... 👾 Great to see some familiar faces as always, Jonathan Avery, Jack Sibley, Adam Blaskey, Adam Ghadiali, Tom Hammond, Katie Whipp, Bronny Wilson, William Hulls eventually 😉 Also thanks again to Jonathan Mills for hosting the event but you may need a bigger venue next time!

AI is overhyped but cannot be ignored. Rents and prices are at unaffordable levels, but people continue to move to the island. Availability of data, increased EU regulations, digitalisation, AI and geopolitics are impacting home values and commercial real estate... Join this #REALTYTalk on PropTech and Pavlos Loizou, on July 3 at City of Dreams Mediterranean!

Do we need to address present challenges or look to new market opportunities? We need both. 👇 Great discussion and insights gained from the UK PropTech Association (UKPA) and British Property Federation's event to launch their Tech and Innovation programme last nights. #PropTech #BuildingInnovation #RealEstateInnovation #RealEstateChallenges

Check out this awesome new course collaboration by Brad Hargreaves of Thesis Driven and Paul Stanton of Proptech Bankers. This is a MUST for so many talented #PropTech folks out there!! The rise of #PropTech and tech-driven real estate in recent years has led many talented people from other sectors to pursue careers in the space – often without a true foundation in real estate. The knowledge gap is something we have been dedicated to bridging at Alpaca VC, and so it's no surprise that we’re thrilled that Brad Hargreaves and Paul Stanton of are partnering to lead their new "Fundamentals of Commercial Real Estate" course THIS SPRING 🔥🔥   Created for employees of companies in #CRE sectors (including #office , #multifamily, #retail, and #hospitality), the two-day bootcamp in NYC will unpack the fundamentals of CRE while offering direct access to two experts in the field.     What it covers: > A "day in the life" of property managers, asset managers and leasing agents > The relationships between #GPs and #LPs > The basics of building budgets, lease agreements and industry lingo   We think this is fundamental education that's currently missing across the industry. This course is designed to get those people up to speed - and quickly.

One of our Managing Partners, Ivo van Breukelen was interviewed by London PropTech Show for an Q&A session about the Proptech landscape. One of the Q&A: #PTS: Looking ahead, how do you see the role of venture capital evolving in shaping the Proptech landscape? What opportunities and challenges do you foresee for investors? #Ivo van Breukelen: There are several VCs laying off staff and struggling to raise new capital, especially in the US Euro. VCs are doubling down on protecting portfolio companies to “winter the storm”, instead of allocating capital to new deals. That being said, early-stage high-quality deals, with strong teams and traction, will still be funded, at least that is what we are seeing with our clients and network. Read the full article here.

Today, I am feeling humble and also way more optimistic. Humble, since last week, I had the honour and pleasure to do the evaluation for the EU PropTech #award amongst 70 great and experienced industry experts. Optimistic: because there were 236 (!) applications in total all contributing to a more #sustainable future with lots of great #ideas and business models. Kudos to all of them!   In my pack there were 39 companies across Europe and all different verticals. One thing which is really remarkable is that almost a third of those are originated in the Nordics. Really #impressive bearing in mind the relatively small size of those countries compared to the rest!   Today, I would also like to spread the word about some companies I evaluated and belief are worth following - LEKO Labs (Luxembourg) carbon-negative superstructure with the aim to replace most of the concrete and steel in buildings - Betolar (Finland) cement replacement with equivalent characteristics and way lower carbon footprint - Carrot (Norway) reducing waste and improving recycling behaviour by using data and motivating all stakeholders - 3DCP GROUP (Denmark) 3D printing - LightMirror (Lithuania) bringing sun light into care facilities - coat-ing (France) external thermal insulation with cork I am also glad to see some very familiar faces in the semi-finals, like Simon Vestner, Johannes Fütterer or Christoph Berger. See here, if you missed the list: https://lnkd.in/eKBi4d5N   Last, but not least: thanks a lot Dirk Paelinck and European PropTech Association - PropTech House for organizing! I am very much looking forward to the semi-finals and finals at Realty Belgium (Real Estate) next week!
