Signature talks
Three subjects, told from the inside
PropTech
Technology meeting an industry that resists it
Two decades of property meets a decade of software. What real estate technology has genuinely changed, what was noise, and where AI is now landing in operations, underwriting and hospitality.
Startups & Entrepreneurship
Building, raising, exiting — and what it costs
A founder's account of pioneering real estate crowdfunding: taking a regulated idea to national television, raising against the grain, and the unglamorous parts nobody puts on a slide.
New York · Southeast Asia
A view of property capital from both sides of the world
Splitting time between the US and Southeast Asia means talking about real estate the way it actually trades today: cross-border capital, new development markets and technology arriving faster in Asia than anywhere else.
