[Note from editor: We publish a Weekly Radar for Geek Estate Mastermind members with a range of curated links and analysis/commentary that comes out every Friday morning along with member news to peruse. This is a summary for the month of April.]

Mastermind Summary

April was full of events. I spent three weeks on the East Coast, and produced the first Geek Estate Mastermind Soirée in New York City hosted at MetaProp’s new office space, PropTech Place. There, 30 attendees discussed the future of the industry while making new connections. Thank you to MetaProp for the use of their space.

Additionally, I attended CREtech Future in Boston, organized two group lunches in NYC, and Zillow Group hosted our monthly lunch in Seattle.
