Building, Inc reposted this
🌊 To be honest, sometimes it’s difficult for me to enjoy a retreat when business is on my mind…but that wasn’t an issue with Tron Jordheim’s The Self-Storage Hawai'i unConference. While Building, Inc came in 2nd in the pitch competition, I knew my presentation was going to be less of a pitch and more of a Ted Talk about tokenization. My job isn’t about trophies or titles — it’s about helping people learn about real estate and technology, and inspiring folks to embrace innovation. ☀️ Over cocktails and under sunsets, I was able to speak with people from across the United States about blockchain and AI and how it might help a niche asset class like self storage. “Wow, the industry needs this. There needs to be transparency in real estate assets because it’s going to help investors like us when we want to acquire a facility.” ”I can definitely see how all of this data and the tools you’re building will streamline the underwriting and capital raising process, thank you.” 🙏 Hearing comments like that after I’ve introduced an industry veteran for the first time to blockchain is amazing. But aside from what I had to share, the speakers that Tron had lined up were fantastic — with topics ranging from syndication strategies or philanthropic development to marketing strategies and self storage insight. It’s the casual, cheery environments like the Hawai’i unConference where deals get done. And so…I want you to stay tuned for the massive announcement we have coming this week!! 🧭 By the way, some folks were asking about our angel round — send me a DM to learn more.
