Why
Groundbreaker was just chicken-scratch on a napkin back in 2011 when Jake underwrote real estate investments at a growing REIT in Chicago. Preparing investment materials was cumbersome and handling investor relations was done with cobbled-together solutions like spreadsheets, decks, file storage for documents, and email. Managing data and answering to investors was a time-intensive, manual process. There had to be a better way.
Just a few short years later, the commercial real estate industry is changing before our eyes. We believe technology can dramatically change the way firms invest in real estate, that investors are becoming more tech-savvy, and that these forces create an opportunity for real estate investment firms to embrace new tools that unlock pent-up growth. We created Groundbreaker to harness these forces and empower firms to thrive in this new digital environment.
