So I just spent my Sunday morning listening (twice) to this new #Proptech investor/ #VC podcast drop and I have questions for founders? 🤔🤔🤔 Founders: 1. Has Fifth Wall lived up to the marketing hype coming through your company and for the portfolio? Y/N 2. What three attributes makes the firm stick out the most other than their Corporate LPs? 3. What round did they come in and did y’all like the terms? Investing in “need to haves” sounds a little too good to be true. I’m curious to hear public feedback. I’m also curious to find out if any of their portfolio has Techstars backed portcos. 🤔🤔🤔 And I’m curious if any Techstars founders been passed on and why? Did they come to see you in program or pitch on Demo Day? Has any Techstars founder be asked to go into due diligence? Ben Liao, did Fifth Wall ever come to see your cohorts pitch? I also heard Sarah Liu mentioned they follow Protech companies and their progress. #4. Have any founders been actually approached or did you all have to apply to Pitch or rely on the classic warm intro? I’m so curious about #fifthwallvc because in 2019 I had done some temporary housing work and strategy meetings with Lennar to launch Workbnb, Inc | Techstars '22 and they never mentioned Fifth Wall. 🤔 Overall, I thought this was a good interview and I’m curious to learn more about Brendan Wallace and the team. Plus feel free to drop answers in the comments! 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 #workbnb #techstars #proptechnews #propertytechnology #realestate #housing #tech #startups #fifthwall #venturecapital #venturefunding #founderstories #founders #blackfounders #realestatetech #workforcerentals #workforcehousing
Great podcast featuring Fifth Wall partner Sarah Liu, who has been a force on our Real Estate Technology team since 2018. If you're at all interested in the proptech venture capital ecosystem, take 20 minutes and put this on today. The entire episode is worth your time, but I especially liked her lesson learned in proptech about investing in "need to haves" (i.e. AI that prevents leasing fraud -- VERO) versus "nice to haves." #realestate #proptech The Registry
