Clint Lee
Clint Lee is the co-founder and CEO of OneDay, a Dallas-based SaaS video platform that helps senior living communities, multifamily real estate operators, and funeral homes capture and share personalized video stories. He started the company in 2012 after his grandfather died and the family realized they had almost no video to remember his voice. OneDay has grown to work with thousands of senior living communities across the U.S., U.K., and Canada, raised roughly $24 million across two rounds including a $19M Series B led by Volition Capital in 2021, and has since layered in an AI video assistant called AVA.
Ed Wolff
Ed Wolff is the CEO and board member of Aerwave, a Dallas-based company that builds and operates managed Wi-Fi networks for multifamily apartment communities. A multifamily-industry veteran with more than 25 years in real estate and technology, he joined Aerwave in 2024 as president and chief revenue officer before stepping into the CEO role, and has led the company through a Series B raise, expansion across dozens of U.S. markets, and recognition as a Broadband Communities Multifamily Partner of the Year. Wolff's earlier career spans senior roles at LeaseLock, RealPage, Cortland, Pinnacle, and Place Properties.
Georgianna Oliver
Georgianna W. Oliver is the founder and CEO of Tour24, a Massachusetts-based proptech company whose platform lets prospective renters take self-guided, app-driven tours of apartment communities without an on-site leasing agent. A serial entrepreneur with a two-decade track record, she previously built and sold EverGreen Solutions and AptBudget (both to RealPage) and Package Concierge (acquired by Gibraltar Industries). She holds two patents for self-guided tours and has been recognized as a 2024 Mass Technology Leadership Council CEO of the Year honoree and a 2025 Female Trailblazers of SaaS Award winner.
Minna Song
Minna Song is the cofounder and CEO of EliseAI, a New York company that builds conversational AI for property managers and, more recently, healthcare providers. She started the company in 2017 after taking a front-desk job at a real estate firm to see the workflow up close, and in 2025 raised a $250 million Series E led by Andreessen Horowitz at a $2.2 billion valuation. EliseAI now serves roughly 70-75% of the fifty largest U.S. rental operators and crossed $200 million in annual recurring revenue.
Or Bokobza
Or Bokobza is co-founder and CEO of Venn, a New York-headquartered proptech company that builds a resident-experience operating system for multifamily property owners. He founded Venn in 2017 with fellow Israeli special-forces veterans Chen Avni and David Sherez after a hands-on urban revitalization experiment in Tel Aviv's Shapira neighborhood. Venn now operates across dozens of cities in the US and Europe and, as of late 2025, has raised roughly $140M in venture funding.
Rob Hayden
Rob Hayden is the CEO and co-founder of Renew, a New York based AI powered retention platform for multifamily and single family rental operators. He co-founded the company in 2021 with Kevin Murphy after both worked together at rental insurance startup Jetty. In October 2025 Renew closed a $12 million Series A led by Haymaker Ventures with participation from Goldcrest Capital and Upfront Ventures, bringing total funding to roughly $20 million and financing the launch of the industry's first Resident Referral Network.
Revital Gadish
Revital Gadish is the CEO of Qira, a New York-based fintech that quietly rewires the plumbing of American rent - security deposits, monthly payments, refunds, escrow. A CPA by training who spent seven years running finance at Payoneer before landing at Qira as CFO/COO in 2020, she took the top job as the company knit together the merger of Rentigo and HelloRented and raised an $8M Series A led by Phoenix Insurance. Her writing tends toward the unglamorous mechanics of the rental industry: Gen Z renters, state-by-state deposit statutes, and why properties keep losing money to manual error.
Yishai Lehavi
Yishai Lehavi is the co-founder and CEO of TULU, a New York and Tel Aviv-born proptech company that turns dead lobby space in apartment buildings into 24/7 on-demand rental hubs for vacuums, gaming consoles, e-scooters and household goods. A trained architect who once built a mobile app to redistribute passengers on crowded trains, Lehavi met co-founder Yael Shemer at MIT's designX accelerator and bet the company on a simple idea: people want access to things, not ownership of them. TULU now serves more than 500,000 residents across 60 cities on both sides of the Atlantic and has raised roughly $53M in total funding.
Julie Blanc
Julie Blanc is the co-founder and CEO of Rentana, an AI-powered revenue optimization platform for multifamily real estate owners and operators, headquartered in New York. After more than a decade in venture capital and corporate development - including stops at the Drone Racing League and fintech company Array - she launched Rentana with a team drawn from Stripe, Airtable, Airbnb and AppFolio. The company raised a ~$5M seed in May 2025 led by Zigg Capital and Benchstrength. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and Wharton magna cum laude graduate, she speaks French, German and English.
Benjamin Pleat
Benjamin (Ben) Pleat is the CEO and co-founder of Cobu, a Boston-based resident-engagement platform that turns apartment buildings into actual communities. After watching his extroverted mother feel isolated in a well-appointed Manhattan building - and learning that apartment owners bleed money to roughly 50% annual tenant churn - he built a company on a simple bet: a single friend in your building makes you 30%+ more likely to renew your lease. A Harvard economics grad who passed through WeWork's growth team and Goldman Sachs' real estate private equity group, Pleat now leads a company that has powered community in tens of thousands of apartment homes by getting neighbors into the same room for poker nights, potlucks, and chef dinners.
Nick Deveau
Nick Deveau is the co-founder and CEO of Grotto AI, a New York startup building real-time AI coaching for apartment leasing teams. A Stanford-trained AI engineer who helped build the technology behind EvolutionIQ's $730 million sale, Deveau now bets that humans, not bots, close the deals that matter most. His platform, Guidance, listens to leasing calls and tours, decodes what makes top agents great, and whispers that playbook to everyone else in real time. In February 2026 Grotto raised a $10 million seed round led by ICONIQ Capital.
Remen Okoruwa
Remen Okoruwa is the co-founder and CEO of Propexo, a Y Combinator-backed Boston startup building a unified API for property management software. Pitched as 'Plaid for commercial real estate,' Propexo lets engineers connect to legacy systems like Yardi, RealPage and Entrata in days instead of months. An Iowa kid who studied engineering at Harvard, Remen took a winding road through McKinsey, a churn-fighting data startup, product leadership at HubSpot, and a rent-payments venture before landing on the unglamorous but enormous problem of moving property data. He now powers integrations behind more than half of the NMHC Top 15 managers.
Ken McDonald
Ken McDonald is the CEO of Leonardo247, a Plano, Texas proptech company whose proactive operations and maintenance software runs across more than 2 million rental units. A Stanford MBA and Dartmouth math-and-economics grad, he has spent 25-plus years turning small online businesses into large ones - scaling LifePics from a few thousand users to 12 million, helping push TeamSnap past 15 million users as Chief Growth Officer, and running dozens of SaaS and payments products as Chief Product Officer at Togetherwork. He co-wrote 'How to Acquire Your First Million Customers' and now applies an operator-first view of AI to the unglamorous world of apartment maintenance.
Neil Rubler
Neil Rubler is the founder and CEO of Vessel Technologies, a New York company that mass-produces small, prefabricated, solar-ready apartment buildings and sells them through the housing industry's first franchise model. After two decades running large multifamily real estate firms - Vantage Properties and then Candlebrook Properties, which oversaw more than $3 billion in assets across seven states - he left conventional development behind in 2017 to attack the so-called Missing Middle: people who earn too much for subsidized housing and too little for market rate. A Wharton MBA and magna cum laude Cornell graduate, Rubler treats housing like a manufactured product rather than a construction project, aiming to build higher-quality homes faster, cheaper, and more sustainably.
Gino A. Canori
Gino A. Canori is President and CEO of Related California's market-rate division, overseeing a $10 billion development pipeline of more than 7,000 multifamily and senior housing units and over 5 million square feet of commercial space across California. A 25-year veteran of the firm, he shepherded landmark projects like Frank Gehry's $1 billion The Grand LA and Coterie Cathedral Hill into the skylines of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Azlan Ezaddin
Azlan Ezaddin is the President and CEO of PASE (Peoples Associates Structural Engineers), a Silicon Valley structural engineering firm he has led for 35 years. A licensed Structural Engineer in six U.S. states with P.E. credentials across 28 states and four Canadian provinces, Ezaddin holds a Master's degree from Stanford University and is widely regarded as a foremost authority on mission-critical data center structural design - having engineered facilities for Meta across three continents. In a striking contrast to load-bearing calculations, he co-founded CriticalDance in 1999, an international nonprofit arts publication, and writes about ballet with the same analytical precision he brings to seismic codes.
Hannah Greenberg
Hannah Greenberg is the CEO of Eleven Software, the cloud-based Wi-Fi authentication platform powering connectivity for 25,000+ hotel properties across 140+ countries - processing over 10 billion authentications per year for brands like Hilton, Marriott, Accor, and Wyndham. She acquired Eleven in 2022 through a search fund she built after her MBA at UC Berkeley Haas, then led the 2023 acquisition of UK-based Airangel to create the world's leading hospitality Wi-Fi management company. A Cornell Hotel School alumna with roots in PwC consulting and $1 billion in hotel development at Seaview Investors, Greenberg brings the rare combination of an owner-operator's instinct and a technologist's ambition to one of hospitality's most infrastructure-critical categories.
Lisa Petrucci
Lisa Petrucci is the CEO of Brilliant NextGen Inc., the San Mateo-based company behind the leading in-wall smart home touchscreen control panels trusted by builders and property managers across North America. A veteran of Dun & Bradstreet, Joyent, and Six Apart, she joined Brilliant in 2018 as VP of Business Development before stepping up to lead the company through a pivotal acquisition in 2024 and a $9.7M funding round in 2025. Under her leadership, Brilliant has launched a second-generation AI-ready control platform and a Power over Ethernet professional line, cementing its position at the intersection of smart home hardware, multifamily real estate, and connected living.
