Join a Geek Estate Mastermind Member Lunch as a Guest in Seattle/Chicago
There have been monthly Geek Estate Mastermind member lunches here in Seattle the past few months. Starting in November, they will start in a 2nd city — Chicago — as well.
There’s no agenda, other than efficient networking in a small intimate setting in order to meet & talk one on one with other real estate technologists/innovators. While the lunch meetups are for Mastermind members to connect with each other, there is a guest list.
This month’s Seattle lunch is this coming Wednesday (the 24th). In November, Chicago’s first event is scheduled for the 13th and Seattle’s lunch will take place the following day, the 14th.
If you’d like to attend a future lunch in either Seattle or Chicago as a guest, shoot me an email at drew @ geekestatelabs dot com with a link to your Linkedin profile and your company website.
PS: San Francisco, Washington DC, New York, and Miami are likely the next cities to have regular lunch meetups.

Two Questions Worth Asking for Founders/VCs
I agree with Fred Wilson… the startup and VC community alike should start asking the following two questions:
Who are our investors and can we be proud of them?
And do we want to work for them?
More founders and VCs can, and should, be concerned with ensuring they aren’t operating with money from bad actors.

Meet the Real Estate Tech Founder: Jeremy Jennings from Jabbrrbox
In our latest real estate tech entrepreneur interview, we’re speaking with Jeremy Jennings from Jabbrrbox. They build and sell “The modern phone booth”.
This video by NBR provides some further color:
Without further ado…
What do you do?
We provide privacy on demand in loud and busy environments. Our mission is to empower people through enabled space.
What that means is … where do you go during that “in between time”? The time between meetings when you are in a city? The time between security and your plane in an airport or even that time before of after your meeting in a visiting office building? Our goal was to create a solution that would meet the demands of the mobile population and workforce.
Our focus is on airports are continuing to expand in a variety of open and semi-public spaces including building lobbies, hospitality, conference and more transit hubs throughout 2018 and 2019.
What problem does your product/service solve?
Technology has facilitated mobility and the ability to work/live/play when, where and how we want. The physical build environment has not responded with an efficient and technology enabled response. JabbrrX has.
When I was getting off a train, I received a text that I was needed to jump on a conference call in 20 minutes w multiple decision makers in regards to a large deal I had been working on. I jumped into a Starbucks and it was super loud, music pumping and coffee machine grinding. I jumped into a building lobby and was quickly asked to leave from security. I ended up taking the call walking around a local NYC pharmacy ‘Duane Reade’ pretending to look at merchandise and waiving away sales people while I consulted on a multi million dollar project. I needed my own personal space at that moment.
What are you most excited about right now?
The social proof of how our pilot launches at LGA airport and Chicago Merchandise Mart has literally made a difference in people’s daily routine and improved their experience in these environments. It’s a blank canvas right now with a lot of low hanging fruit.
What’s next for you?
Activating locations in airports, building lobbys, hospitality and beyond .. creating a global ecosystem of connected on demand and reservable spaces in loud and busy environments. This means as a member you have access to all of these locations in semi-public environments to be more; more efficient + happy = productive.
What’s a cause you’re passionate about and why?
Betterment. I believe that every day you can be better than you were the day before. I also believe that people just need a chance to pick themselves up and break the cycles of circumstance and victimization. Poverty and homelessness in our country is a travesty; in particular children born into this situation is near to heart and our mission is rooted in betterment.
Thanks to Jeremy for sharing his story. If you’d like to connect, find him on LinkedIn here.
