When most people think of the word “infrastructure” they picture a road full of potholes or a massive highway overpass construction site. Moral of the story, it usually carries a negative connotation. What people don't realize, the way we finance and plan out infrastructure projects is outdated and complicated. But there are some new schools of thoughts that we dive into throughout this episode.What is infrastructure?Very few people discuss infrastructure in their own free time, it's usually because they got stuck in bad traffic or a road they usually take was closed. Infrastructure gets a bad rap and gets brought up by the masses every election year when a new proposition needs to be passed to fund a new road. What we don't realize is that infrastructure is all around us, it's our healthcare system, the first responders, the education system and even the government programs that benefit the area.How current projects are funded.The fast majority of projects are government funded, this is done through massive bonds and taxes. This leads to a massive amount of funding that COULD be available to be used in infrastructure projects. But there appears to be a gap in spending which leads to massive corrections in the form of huge proposals every few years to “catch up”.What is Privatized Funding?Leveraging private investment into massive projects provides a great opportunity for not only the investors but also the government. Speed for both parties is very important, quickly raising funds from private investors allows the government to quickly start the project. Speed also benefits the private investors as they are able to recoup their investments and realize their gains quickly.How does crypto and smart contracts play into this?You are just going to have to listen and find out for yourself.

One of the most difficult tasks for creators today is building an active community behind their brand. In this episode, we talk with Opi Abeysekera, an Austin-based entrepreneur who is also the founder of Austin Food Heads. Opi is on a mission to showcase the best food options in Austin (not an easy task) and he leverages a massive following on Instagram to do that with incredible posts, reels and stories that showcase amazing restaurants and food all around the city. In today's world one of the most powerful ways to market not only your business but yourself is to leverage your social media. In today's conversation that's exactly what Opi shares with our listeners.

By focusing on the quality of content he was posting, Austin Food Heads quickly reached 1,000 followers. Following this quick growth, Opi sought out advice from his network. By using better hashtags and proper tagging on each post. Austin Food Heads skyrocketed to over 10,000 in the first 6 months.Understand the different forms of contentInstagram has multiple different forms of content that you can post, understanding the differences and what to post in each form is critical to seeing growth. With the recent competition on the user front from other platforms like Tik Tok, reels are a major content focus. IGTV is another form of content that allows for longer videos, great for uploading long interviews or podcast episodes. For everyday interaction with followers Instagram stories are great ways to share quick updates or answer questions. Using all these different forms correctly will lead to higher engagement and ultimately more followers for your social media accounts.How to leverage interactionsIf you are like most people, the first thing we look at when we upload a post is how many likes we have gotten. But as Opi shares, an Instagram Like is one of the lowest quality forms of interactions. The ultimate goal for every post is to increase the number of Saves and Shares. Instagram weighs these heavier than the traditional likes. Another great way to increase interactions is to leave longer thoughtful comments with more than 5 words. It's a great way to build community and increase conversations on each individual post.KEYWORDS SUMMARYinstagram, post, people, followers, restaurant, austin, food, app, big, interacting, accounts, engagement, ultimately, brand, content, page, platform, started, building, businessWant to be featured in an episode?

The eviction moratorium helps people out who are struggling to make ends meet, but it could be one of the largest drivers into why the available inventory is so low.New Technology in Real EstateReal estate is one of the last industries to truly reinvent itself and innovation is sometimes lacking. We have seen the majority of focus center around the individual home buyer and how they find and buy a new home. With massive advancements in virtual reality (VR) people can take tours of properties they normally wouldn't be able to have access to ( very important during COVID). In addition to the use of augmented reality (AR) people can also visualize how new additions or items may look in a space, completely changing the home evaluation experience.

The How To Build A Business series is coming to an end, but not without diving into everyone's favorite topic, money. Fundraising is an art, it takes a tremendous amount of skill, effort and most importantly time. As your startup gets going sooner or later the need for fundraising will arise and we want you to be ready for that moment because it often means life or death for your idea.Check out the newest The Real Venture Podcast episodes directly to you - subscribe here. And, if you're enjoying The Real Venture Podcast, please give us a 5-Star rating on Itunes!Why do you need more capital?This is an important question you and your team need to ask yourself before you go out on the fundraising trail. First, it serves as a great exercise to figure out exactly what your current burn rate is. Once you establish this number, you know exactly how much time is left before you run out of money. It also allows you to budget out your future development plan. These 2 factors together determine if your business needs to fundraise and ultimately how much money is needed.Where can you find the money?When we interviewed Mike Smerklo of Next Coast Ventures, he laid his opinion on how startups should look for money. Start first with friends and family, this is a great test for your idea because if you can't raise money from 4-5 of the people who “love” you; you might need to reevaluate the business. Next, search through your network. You would be surprised who you have met over the years. Your last step in this process is securing funding from venture capital, but that's an episode in its own right.Our advice once you get the money.This is something that is really simple, but it's so important in our opinion. Be responsible, you are using other people's money. They put their faith in you, and do the right thing. Use the money how you said you were going to, you do not want to burn any bridges because you will always need more money.KEYWORDS SUMMARYfamily, starting, business, money, talked, bank account, raise, build, stressful, little bit, continue, luke, fundraising, exercise, product, cost, pivot, pay, venture, friendsWant to be featured in an episode?

Getting your business up and running is fun and exciting. You know what's not fun? Meeting with lawyers and paying expensive legal fees. At The Real Venture, we have started a few companies; all with differing legal setups. We have gone full corporate, paid the big money and we have bootstrapped the entire process. In this episode we want to walk you through the way we view the legal process, where you should splurge and where you could take some ownership.Check out the newest The Real Venture Podcast episodes directly to you - subscribe here. And, if you're enjoying The Real Venture Podcast, please give us a 5-Star rating on Itunes!Understand the role legal plays in a startup.Setting up a company for the first time can be daunting. Getting your ducks in a row is easier said than done. Still it's a task that can be done on your own all the way up to the actual filling. In our experience the more complex your business structure the more you should lean on your lawyers. Most mistakes can be fixed later on down the road, but some could kill the business before it even starts. Used good judgment.How to be cost effective and efficient.Lawyers get paid based on their time, i.e. the more they spend working on your account the more you end up paying. That is a lesson we have learned the hard way, which is why we recommend laying out exactly what you need to have accomplished, very clearly. This way they know exactly what is expected and they can knock it out quickly and correctly. Where to splurge and where to take ownershipThere are several different documents that have to be complied and filled out during the incorporation process. Some of these need to be owned by the lawyers; bylaws, articles of incorporation etc. Let them handle that. On the other hand, there are forms that you can find online that you can have filled out and ready to rock on your own. Understand what your business needs and then figure out if you have the capacity to handle on your own or if you need legal help.At the end of the day you and your lawyers are a team, share the workload and take their guidance and you will be off to a smooth start.KEYWORDS SUMMARYNDA, legal, business, lawyers, working, luke, law firm, continue, order, incorporation, talk, google, people, creating, corporate structure, investors, important, major roadblocks, gung ho, documentsWant to be featured in an episode?
