THE PROBLEM
With a few exceptions, current CRE Tech VC Model prioritize financial returns to its investors ---
Emerging Weakness
Financial return perceived by VC’s diverges
from maximum operational benefit to investors.
The Opportunity:
Create a capital investment model
Investments stray from investors’ operational
priorities – but investors asked to adopt anyway
to realize Fund’s financial returns.
where operational benefit and the
dialog among pro-active
investor/operators drives
Too many investors (strategic and financial) to
effectively participate in key decisions.

Special Opportunity for the “Right” Construction Company…
This is a very unique opportunity to develop a deep relationship with 4 – 5 major owner-developers (est.
combined $100B+ AUM) in the course of identifying, vetting, and implementing new “design/construction”
technology investments in an intimate recurring setting where ideas emanate from one of three general
directions:

• From the outside in where a startup has an idea that may address a problem
experienced by a major owner/developer somewhere in the construction
process;
• An owner/developer expresses a problem/challenge that needs to be
addressed; or
• An Advisor (including Construction Company) can surface for consideration
technology successfully applied by others.

4 VERTICALS OF FOCUS & HOW THEY INTEGRATE/OVERLAP
Our 4 verticals have significant overlap which produces multiple synergies
Construction
Data & Analytics
+ Smart Buildings
3D Virtual Design (BIM) provides the skeleton for
integration of Asset Management and Smart
Building devices including IoT sensors which
capture data related to operations and tenant
satisfaction.
+ Construction
The Data and Analytics vertical is
positioned to disrupt the construction
industry by providing those who apply
machine learning and AI to data to gain
an advantage in cost savings and labor
efficiency.
Construction
+ Blockchain Smart Contracts
+ Blockchain/Tokenization
Facilitates Data Analysis and Record
Keeping, paving the way for new,
complementary fractional interest
markets.
Blockchain/Tokenization
+ Data & Analytics
The basis of Blockchain technology by
generating increased transparency
through the use of distributed ledgers,
timestamped entries and identity
verification should facilitate the creation
of new, complementary capital markets.
Data & Analytics
Smart Buildings
Digitization is being used to automate payment for
performance of tasks in construction contracts at
all levels.
+Data and Analytics
Blockchain/
Tokenization
Machine learning is being applied to period
construction data and combined with market area
activity levels to significantly improve project cost
estimates.
Smart Buildings
+ Blockchain
Smart Building systems can benefit from
the use of Blockchain technology,
including building security and validation,
timestamped data events, centralized
documentation, and inventory
management.

Growth Pressure:
Need to grow 8-12% / year
Construction Costs:
Rising 6-8% / year
Skilled Labor Shortages:
prevalent condition
Lagging Rent Growth:
Rents up only 2-3% / year

Why a Construction Company Should Focus on Real Estate Technology
Technology improves, enhances, and facilitates value components both of the main aspects of
the asset, (1) the location, (2) the physical/material composition of the actual property.
Technology is everywhere today and is vital for all asset classes, definitely including Real
Estate.
Since Technology has the ability to change jobs there is in all industries a frequent
reluctance to address and incorporate it all decision making.
When real estate companies, both owners and construction companies do address technology
it tends to get siloed and isolated within the company structure.
25
Why a Construction Company Should Focus on Real Estate Technology
Asset Value Enhancement. Technology enhances value components of the asset – both the
location and physical/material composition
Technology is ubiquitous today - vital for all asset classes including Real Estate.
Since Technology has the ability to change jobs there is in all industries a frequent
reluctance to address and incorporate it all decision making.
When real estate companies, both owners and construction companies do address
technology it tends to get siloed and isolated within the company structure.
26
How might a Construction Company best incorporate Technology into its
”forward thinking?”
An outside team comprised of professionals with similar profiles and company objectives has
demonstrated itself in other industries to be the best, and sometimes only, way to address
the inevitable role that Technology will play in the company’s business future.
A team, by definition, has multiple members and almost always is a superior approach
provided there is good communication between all team members.
A team of outsiders has been demonstrated in real estate tech to be the best way to initiate,
encourage and adopt new ideas and approaches into a “too traditional/not “forward
thinking” mindset.
Brainstorming with open-minded major owner/developer/builders from different companies
has been proven to be much more productive than just attempting to precipitate change
within a single entity/company structure.

Why Commercial Real Estate Tech & Why Now?
The culture and willingness to adapt to change and technology in the global
real estate industry has been absolutely constrained.
The real estate mindset is adverse to change because merely being in the right
markets with the right products produces many millionaires/billionaires.
There is only one dedicated VC that has raised over $100M in funds compared
with other industries that have multiple individual funds/VC with over $1B raised.
30
Why Commercial Real Estate Tech & Why Now?
There is a comparatively tiny group of broadly-defined commercial real estate
technology startups that have raised more than $150M including WeWork, Katerra,
and VTS. And only VTS has raised capital from investors with meaningful experience in
commercial real estate.
Real Estate is the most financially underserved industry within venture capital, by
a gigantic margin, i.e., the largest industry in the world has the least venture money
both in absolute and percentage terms.
The commercial real estate industry is finally starting to recognize that technological
evolution is inevitable. For example, conferences on the topic that had 50 attendees 4 or
5 years ago now have 1,000+ attendees.
