Stella Han
Stella Han is the co-founder and CEO of Fractional, a San Francisco startup that lets friends and strangers pool money to co-own investment real estate for as little as a few thousand dollars. A Carnegie Mellon computer science graduate and former senior software engineer at Affirm, she left fintech to attack a problem she grew up around: real estate is a great way to build wealth, and almost impossibly clunky to buy with other people. Fractional went through Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch, raised a $5.5M seed led by CRV with backing from Will Smith and Kevin Durant, and a $15M Series A led by Fifth Wall in late 2024.
Sachin Latawa
Sachin Latawa is the founder and CEO of Tirios, an Austin-based proptech platform that lets everyday people invest in single-family rental homes for as little as $100. Before building Tirios, he ran real estate for Carl Icahn's empire as CFO of Real Estate at Icahn Enterprises, where he managed more than $1.1 billion in assets across homebuilding, distressed assets, resorts, offices and industrial property. He now pairs that institutional pedigree with AI-driven underwriting and blockchain tokenization to crack open a $10 trillion asset class that, by his own count, only about 5% of people can actually reach.
