🎧 EPISODE / 016
We speak with Calvin Cooper, CEO of Rhove, about the future of consumer-based fundraising and the impact of consumer ownership on real estate development.
Dear No Contest Listeners,
The funny thing about the biggest waves of innovation is that most people think they’re silly puddles until they’re drowning in regret… for not investing in, embracing, or preparing for change.
A few examples:
Tesla: “Americans will never give up their gas guzzling Chevy Suburbans for electric space mobiles.” Current valuation = $1 trillion
Starbucks: “People won’t pay five bucks for a latte with a funny name.” Current Valuation = $105 billion
Apple: “Why on earth would you wear a computer on your wrist?” Current Valuation = $2.08 trillion
Sheesh.
There are few players in real estate technology that have the capacity to make this level of impact on our futures, and one is Rhove.
Rhove is a startup founded to empower everyone to invest in and own real estate. Consumers can invest as little as $1 in a variety of developments across the country (and soon the world, and perhaps, one day, outer space).
What does this democratization of real estate investing — a practice still reserved for institutions and the very wealthy — mean for development?
Well, we’re saving that answer for the podcast.
In Episode 016 of No Contest, we speak with Calvin Cooper, CEO of Rhove about the ways in which consumer-funded real estate will change our communities, architectural design, brand development, and much more.
Enjoy.
