The Most Valuable Thing in the Room Is Not the Money
Family Office Forum is building a private-capital network around a scarce commodity: trust. Its mix of invitation-only rooms, founder showcases, cultural programming and year-round media shows how an events business can become a relationship marketplace.
The Arcview Group
The Arcview Group is a vertically integrated cannabis and hemp company founded in 2010 by activists-turned-entrepreneurs Troy Dayton and Steve DeAngelo. Built around the Arcview Investor Network - one of the first and largest groups of accredited investors backing legal cannabis - it pairs capital and brokerage with the industry's most-cited market research, business consulting, events, and social-equity initiatives. Headquartered in San Francisco, Arcview has helped channel hundreds of millions of dollars into more than 200 cannabis companies and turned a once-illicit market into investable territory.
Sundae
Sundae is a San Francisco-based residential real estate marketplace that helps homeowners sell dated or damaged properties as-is, by pairing them with a vetted network of property investors who compete to bid on the home. Founded in 2018 by Josh Stech and Andrew Swain, two LendingHome alumni, Sundae was built to give sellers in difficult circumstances - illness, divorce, foreclosure, inherited homes - a fair, transparent alternative to predatory cash buyers.
Josh Stech
Josh Stech is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sundae, a San Francisco-based real estate marketplace that connects homeowners selling as-is properties directly with qualified property investors through a competitive auction process. A Stanford graduate with degrees in Economics, Spanish, and Latin American Studies, Stech has spent his entire career at the intersection of real estate and technology - from fixing and flipping homes in post-crash Las Vegas to scaling LendingHome into the largest institutional bridge lender in its category, before co-founding Sundae in 2018 with former Airbnb CFO Andrew Swain. Under his leadership, Sundae raised $138M+ in total funding including an $80M Series C in 2021, with a mission to bring transparency and fairness to the historically opaque off-market home sale.
