Thesis Driven Innovation 100 | #51-100
Meet the 100 people shaping the future of the built world
Innovation in the built world happens because talented and driven people make it happen. While we spend a lot of time on macro trends and new technologies, it’s just as important to acknowledge the people driving the real estate industry forward. Today’s letter kicks off the Thesis Driven 100, our list of the individuals doing the most to drive the future of real estate forward.
Our selection committee featured myself as well as three of the top independent journalists covering the real estate industry:
Hiten Samtani, Founder, Ten31 Media
Daniel Schmergel, former Editor-in-Chief, LoopNet
Franco Faraudo, Founder, Propmodo
Brad Hargreaves, Editor-in-Chief, Thesis Driven
We made a point to select individuals from a wide variety of roles and perspectives. Our final list has a mix of technology entrepreneurs, real estate executives, creatives, investors, and policy / public sector advocates. Some of them are widely-recognized names and some of them aren’t—it would’ve been easy to put together a list of big machers and we intentionally didn’t do that.
Today’s letter outlines features numbers 51 through 100. We’ll release #16 through 50 this Friday and the Top 15 on Monday, September 23rd. Make sure you subscribe to Thesis Driven to be in the loop for all the announcements.
