Brandon Sedloff and Elizabeth Burton explore the shifting landscape of institutional investing, macro strategy, and the growing case for credit over traditional private equity allocations. Burton brings a unique perspective shaped by her time as an allocator at the Maryland State Retirement System and as CIO of the Employees' Retirement System of Hawaii before joining Fortress Investment Group as chief strategist. The conversation touches on her unconventional path into finance, the lessons she learned managing public pension capital, and why she believes floating rate credit deserves a larger role in institutional portfolios. They discuss: - Why floating rate credit offers better downside protection and fee alignment than private equity in a higher-rate environment - How debt monetization and money supply growth could push inflation back above 4% by year-end - Why AI is creating a divide between investors who can move quickly on co-investment opportunities and those constrained by governance structures - The consumer credit opportunity in prime and near-prime segments that many institutional investors are overlooking - How anchoring investment strategy to a single variable like the 10-year Treasury can simplify decision-making across asset classes This episode offers a clear-eyed view of the challenges facing institutional investors in the 2030s and the strategic shifts required to meet return targets in a persistently higher rate world.

Season 8, Episode 2: How does one of the nation's largest real estate capital pools navigate a "real estate recession" while the rest of the economy stays hot?

Build-to-Suit Industrial Real Estate: Mastering Tenant Capital Strategy with Joe Neckles Recorded live from IAMC in Little Rock, Industrial Advisors host Joe Neckles of Fortress Investment Group to discuss Fortress's single-tenant triple-net lease strategy and his focus on fully capitalizing build-to-suit projects with developers and users. Neckles explains Fortress invests via existing net-lease acquisitions, sale-leasebacks, and build-to-suits, emphasizing direct engagement with developers, tenant reps, and end users. The conversation highlights why tenants choose build-to-suit over spec space or ownership: specialized needs (manufacturing, cold storage, data centers), limited market availability, and the ability to invest capital into their core business rather than real estate. Typical build-to-suit leases target 15+ years, ideally 20+ with extension options, and can reduce tenant risk through guaranteed maximum price contracts and delivery timelines; Fortress supports power needs by funding solutions once sites are vetted. They note improving build-to-suit activity after uncertainty in 2024–2025 and tighter construction lending in 2023, with some tenants taking advantage of a softer industrial market to lock long-term rates. 0:00 Intro and Joe Neckles Background 2:10 Building Strategic Industry Partnerships 3:45 Why Choose Build to Suit Over Spec 5:15 Power Capacity and Infrastructure Challenges 6:35 Lease vs Ownership Strategy 7:55 Mitigating Risk and Project Timelines 9:15 Industrial Market Trends and Outlook

Endless Shrimp is BACK at Red Lobster… a headline few people in the business world would have predicted. The promotion played an over-hyped role in the company's 2024 bankruptcy filing, mostly because it was easier to explain than a bad real estate leaseback deal led by investors at the time – the actual cause of Red Lobster's financial trouble. Their new CEO, Damola Adamolekun, is best known for leading the turnaround at P.F. Chang's and was handpicked by Fortress Investment Group, the investors that bought Red Lobster out of bankruptcy. In November 2024, Adamolekun told Today he had ended the Endless Shrimp promotion "Because I know how to do math." And yet… six weeks before the end of the company's fiscal year… it looks like their best hope. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner looks back at Red Lobster: - How much progress the company has made since their bankruptcy - The cost pressures, both internal and external, they are struggling to overcome - And the impact a media-savvy CEO has been able to have on restaurant traffic Links: Ultimate Endless Real Estate Costs at Red Lobster https://artofprocurement.com/blog/supply-ultimate-endless-real-estate-costs-at-red-lobster Kelly Barner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-barner-6884443/ Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/art-of-supply-6895142546301960193 Art of Supply on AOP: http://www.artofsupply.com Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe
The purveyors of 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) have traditionally been smaller scale investment houses. But with an expanding generational opportunity in the real estate space and significant family wealth changing hands, larger organizations have moved into the space looking to leverage the surge of capital. To discuss the situation, Fortress Investment Group representatives David Hammerman (COO of real estate equity) and Eli Edwards (head of U.S. real estate equity) join the program. (05/2026)

John Quinn is joined by Jack Neumark, Managing Partner and Co-Head of Specialty Finance of Fortress Investment Group and Founder of its Legal Assets Group. They discuss the emergence of legal assets as a distinct investment class. Fortress is a leading player in litigation finance with over $6.5 billion deployed in legal assets and a current portfolio of approximately $3 billion. While most litigation funders typically invest in individual cases, Fortress invests in diversified portfolios of litigation claims and contingent fee receivables. Fortress underwrites and finances these portfolios the same way it does other specialty finance products. To underwrite a portfolio, Fortress has lawyers examine the cases in the portfolio to determine how strong and likely to settle they are. They consider factors including the defendants and how creditworthy they are, the damage theories asserted, how far the case has progressed, what motion practice has revealed, and whether related criminal charges have been filed. They also consider the law firms involved, the judge, and the venue. Fortress also conducts quantitative analyses of the historical results of similar cases based on publicly available data and proprietary data it has accumulated in the 15 years it has invested in legal assets. Legal asset portfolios are attractive to many investors because the results of lawsuits are less subject to the performance of the economy in general than many other classes of assets. Also, because the market for legal assets is still developing, sophisticated investors can often obtain better returns than in more mature markets. Jack believes that as the industry matures, especially with potential regulatory changes around law firm ownership, litigation finance will become more mainstream and integrated into broader investment strategies.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

In this episode of the Debtwired Podcast, host Madalina Iacob is joined by Wariz Anifowoshe, Head of Restructuring at Fortress Investment Group, Kevin Fortunato, Portfolio Manager at Benefit Street Partners, and Scott Greenberg, Global Head of Restructuring at Gibson Dunn. A central theme of the discussion is AI-driven disruption, particularly in software, and how investors are positioning defensively while selectively hunting for opportunities. Panelists emphasize that AI risk is already reshaping maturity extensions, underwriting assumptions, and liability management decisions, especially for businesses facing rapid technological change. The group also explores what's driving the unprecedented speed at which loans are trading down from CLO technicals, group-formation risk, and growing familiarity with liability management exercises (LMEs). Speakers expect both more LMEs and an uptick in Chapter 11 filings this year, including failed LMEs from prior vintages where balance sheets were fixed, but businesses were not. They unpack why LMEs are neither inherently successes nor failures, why every situation is bespoke, and how sponsors and not creditors typically set these processes in motion. Finally, the speakers conclude that cooperation agreements (co-ops) remain an essential and widely used tool for collective creditor action, and there has been no meaningful slowdown in their use since Optimum filed an anti-co-op lawsuit against its creditors.
This episode highlights Airbus kicking its A350 freighter program into high gear, with the prototype finalized and flight tests set for next October, aiming for a late 2027 service entry. Learn how the A350F promises a 40% reduction in fuel consumption and features a massive 175-inch wide cargo door, giving it a significant edge in handling bulky industrial cargo. We also examine major rail consolidation, specifically the Surface Transportation Board approval of Fortress Investment Group's acquisition of two new regional lines, the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway and the Akron Barberton Cluster Railway. This deal expands Fortress's roster of Class III railroads, and the STB agreed that the move would enhance the railways' access to capital for strategic investment and growth. Finally, we cover the worrying financial distress facing the 3PL sector as Odyssey Logistics was hit with a second debt downgrade from Moody's in less than three months, dropping its corporate family rating deep into Caa-1 "junk status". Moody's noted this rapid deterioration was driven by sky-high leverage—expected well over seven times operating profit—which creates serious refinancing risk ahead of the company's significant debt maturities in 2027.

Fortress Investment Group has powered its way to the top of the litigation funding industry. It has committed $6.6 billion to legal assets, and another $2.9 billion to intellectual property. But beyond the money, the secret to the firm's success may be its intensity and attention to detail. Bloomberg Law litigation finance reporter Emily Siegel sat down for almost three hours with two Fortress executives: Jack Neumark, managing partner and co-CIO, and Eran Zur, head of intellectual property. They discussed the firm's litigation finance activities in depth for the first time. Siegel also sifted through UCC filings to uncover where some of that money goes. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Siegel details what she learned about this secretive company, who they work with, and how Zur's article nearly ten years ago about patent trolls keeps coming back to haunt him.

Buyers of distressed real estate debt stand to make significant gains over the next few years, according to Joshua Pack, co-CEO at Fortress Investment Group. “This is going to be a trillion-dollar opportunity,” he said. Pack discusses how Fortress is getting ready for “a massive restructuring” in the sector with Bloomberg News' Lisa Lee and James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence's Tolu Alamutu in the latest Credit Edge podcast. The impact on banks will be long-lasting and not limited to smaller financial institutions, says Pack, who predicts more consolidation and liquidation. Also in this episode, Alamutu analyzes the real estate stress spreading through Europe that's hurting banks, insurers and asset managers. Germany and Sweden are areas of concern, while Signa's insolvency adds Austria to the list of hot spots, Alamutu says. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

VICE Media, una conocida cabecera de prensa digital dirigida a los llamados “millenials” declaró este lunes la quiebra y se acogió al capítulo 11 para reestructurar la compañía y salvar lo que se pueda. Lo más seguro es que termine en manos de Fortress Investment Group y Soros Fund Management, que se harán con VICE a un precio muy barato, especialmente si lo comparamos con la valoración que tenía hace unos pocos años. En su mejor momento VICE llegó a valer 5.700 millones de dólares, hoy se estima que Fortress y Soros pagarán por ella tan sólo 225 millones de dólares. El periódico es la parte más reconocible de un conglomerado mediático que reúne un magazine, una productora de televisión y un canal de YouTube con 8,5 millones de suscriptores que ofrece una serie de formatos propios muy populares, pero también muy caros de producir. Hace sólo unos años VICE era sinónimo de éxito. Grandes inversores se interesaron por el medio revelación e inyectaron dinero en la compañía. La cabecera se internacionalizó abriendo ediciones en diferentes idiomas, entre ellos el español, y redacciones por medio mundo. Era el medio de moda y todos se peleaban por su cobertura. Pero no han sabido madurar y convertirse en un medio de comunicación a la altura de lo que decía valer. En 2021 empezaron en serio los problemas. La empresa gastaba mucho más de lo que ingresaba y su modelo de negocio informativo, basado en noticias virales, hacía aguas por los cuatro costados. VICE dependía de los algoritmos de las principales redes sociales que muestran y recomiendan contenido a sus usuarios. Tan pronto como el algoritmo cambiaba, las estadísticas de VICE se desplomaban agravando los problemas y empujando a la redacción a doblar la apuesta. Todo en nombre del tráfico, el célebre “clickbait”, noticias llamativas, pero sin contenido y cuyo titular ejerce como anzuelo. A partir de 2018 y tras varios escándalos por las llamadas noticias falsas, redes sociales como Facebook aplicaron cambios de envergadura en sus algoritmos de recomendación. Eso afectó directamente VICE y a otros medios de corte similar como Buzzfedd, Mashable o Playground, elaborados con la misma filosofía editorial. Hace cinco o seis años todo el mundo hablaba de ellos y los había incluso que les señalaban como el futuro del periodismo. Estaban concebidos para gente joven y contaban con buena parte de su contenido en formato audiovisual. La idea era buena, pero también extraordinariamente cara ya que exigía fuertes inversiones muy dependientes del tráfico y de grandes acuerdos publicitarios. Ambas cosas se esfumaron en los dos últimos años poniendo en serios apuros la cuenta de resultados de todas estas empresas. Para tratar este asunto vuelve La ContraCrónica Rubén Arranz, redactor del diario Vozpópuli, un digital a la antigua usanza donde lleva la sección de medios de comunicación. Rubén ha seguido de cerca las andanzas de estos nuevos medios y los conoce bien. Con él vamos a desentrañar las claves de una muerte anunciada desde hace, como poco, un par de años. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Hispanos.

The Medford, Oregon Mail Tribune can trace its roots back to 1909 when the morning Medford Mail and afternoon Tribune merged under the Putnam family, creating what the paper claimed to be "The largest printing and publishing establishment in Southern Oregon.” It was decades later that this venerable brand would begin a journey of "swap and sale," moving from Down jones/ Ottaway ownership to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., to Newcastle Investment Corp. (an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group) and later merging into the growing Gatehouse Media Group. Gatehouse sold the Mail Tribune in 2017 to media businessman Steven Saslow and its sister paper, the Ashland Daily Tidings, for $15 million. Saslow then reportedly secured financing from the right-wing-centered Sinclair broadcast group that same week, according to public records obtained by Jefferson Public Radio. Shortly after the purchase, the paper began working under the ownership name of Rosebud Media in conjunction with the Sinclair-owned TV station in Medford, KTVL. In a very short time, many of the newspaper's newsroom employees were let go, replacing most of the website content with video programming. In 2018, Mail Tribune online viewers were 1st greeted with a “Rosebud Update” video, which included national and local headlines from a studio in Florida and a right-wing oriented video op-ed section entitled Rosewood Commentary. In August 2021, the Mail Tribune went from printing the newspaper seven days a week to four days per week. Then, on September 30, 2023, Saslow announced that the Mail Tribune would cease publication of a printed edition, stating that "printing and delivery costs for the newspaper were threatening the business.” And finally, on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, Saslow made the unexpected announcement that he was shutting down the online operations altogether and letting the entire team go — thus ending the over 100 years of publishing. While the industry was grappling with the idea of Oregon's fourth largest MDA with a population of over 200,000, losing its newspaper of record, news soon broke that EO Media Group, a fourth-generation family-owned company based in Oregon that publishes 18 titles, was going to launch a new newspaper to serve the Medford area, The Rouge Valley Tribune, with a debut print edition “hitting the streets” today, February 18, 2023. EO Media Group stated that they will place an editorial staff of 14 in the newsroom. The editorial team will work for long-time Mail Tribune journalist and former editor David Smigelski, who EO Media COO Heidi Wright recently hired. Smigelski reminisced about his 16-plus years at Mail Tribune in his first editorial for the new Rouge Valley Tribune, stating, "We became pawns in a multinational media chess game." He then said, "The Mail Tribune was abruptly closed on January 13, with just two days' notice to employees. Ten days later, I was standing inside the JC Penney building in Medford with Bulletin publisher Heidi Wright, figuring out where to put desks and phones. As we planned, she used words I could understand. “We know newspapers aren't a cash cow, but we're not here to get rich,” she said. “We want to do this because it's important.” I wanted to hug her, but I thought it might be unprofessional. Crying was probably poor form, as well, but I couldn't stop a little mist from building up. After 16 years, I feel like I'm back home. With newspaper people — family people.” In this 175th episode of "E&P Reports," we explore how EO Media Group is replacing the now shut-down Medford, Oregon Mail Tribune with its new start-up publication: "The Rouge Valley Tribune." We speak with EO Media Group's COO Heidi Wright and EO Media Group Board Member and Director of Audience Development Susan Forester Rana about why and how the company is committing to launch a new print publication during such tumultuous times. Also joining in the dialogue is David Smigelski, former editor of the Mail Tribune, now in his first week of print publishing as editor of the new The Rouge Valley Tribune.

We want to be the place that powers the transaction. So we're not really trying to be a marketplace with, you know, hundreds of thousands of listings. We want this to be a place where a broker and investor can actually transact online. So we've got some third-party integrations that we're looking to add, which would include, you know, diligence, title, contract negotiation, all the kind of things that we want to bring online. [00:00:38] Sam Wilson: Gordon Smith is a seasoned real estate finance and private equity professional with extensive experience in asset management, brokerage, and operations. Gordon, welcome to the show. [00:00:47] Gordon Smith: Thanks, Sam. [00:00:48] Sam Wilson: Hey, the pleasure's mine, Gordon. Hey, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes from the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now, and how did you get there? [00:00:56] Gordon Smith: Yeah, so I started my career at actually CBRE as a commercial real estate broker. And then made the transition to a private equity firm called Fortress Investment Group, and I am now running two technology real estate technology platforms. One is Biproxi and one is OfficeSpace.com. [00:01:12] Sam Wilson: That's a lot of transition. Did you ever know, I guess, early on that you had an interest in technology, or was this something that just kind of came to you along the way? [00:01:24] Gordon Smith: It came to me along the way. At Fortress, we made an investment, the first online marketplace, which was called Auction.com, which was a residential platform, right? And then Ten-X and I went on the board of that company and the founder, you know, I saw what they were doing, it seemed really exciting, and he convinced me to leave Fortress and come run the commercial business for him, which was called Ten-X. [00:01:47] Sam Wilson: Got it. So you, you moved to Ten-X and now you are at Biproxi. [00:01:52] Gordon Smith: Yeah. We built Ten-X up over around three years. That was sold to a private equity firm, and then I sort of took a year off and launched Biproxi. [00:02:00] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. So Biproxi is your own animal, like this is something you've built, It is built from... [00:02:05] Gordon Smith: Yes. I've got two co-founders, but it is my own animal. [00:02:07] Sam Wilson: That's cool. I love that. And I'm certainly, in the early days back, or I say early to my early days in real estate, spent plenty of time at Auction.com auctions buying foreclosure properties. That's how we cut our teeth. So, you know, I'm very familiar with that process. That's really cool. What is the major problem in the marketplace that you see that you're trying to actively solve? [00:02:29] Gordon Smith: Yeah, I think we're trying to, you know, if you look at a lot of marketplaces, they started with aggregation. You know, you look at, it could be anything from fashion to, you know, this traditional auction platforms. And what's happened over time is that the quality of listing data on a lot of these sites really produces a tough buyer experience. They've got to sift through a lot of listings. Most of them or some of them are inaccurate. Many times they'll call the broker and not get a callback. I mean, we interviewed a Chicago investor who wanted to invest in Florida. You know, because no one knew who he was and he was coming from out of town, he could not get the mind share of the brokerage community there. So we really built Biproxi to be more of a buyer matching platform, and we curate the listings, we make sure they're accurate. We ask the buyers to provide us with detailed information on what they're looking for. We ask the broker to actually profile their listing, and then hopefully we match them up. We joke it's Tinder for real estate, but hopefully we match them up inside our app rather than relying on what's traditionally been sort of an email blast that's undirected and usually gets deleted. [00:03:34] Sam Wilson: Right. Yeah, there's certainly plenty of that. You know, those email blasts that you get and I think the problem for, you know, for us as investors is getting those email blasts, is remembering that, Oh, hey, Gordon sent me an email. Like, oh, yeah, I need to go back and review that. I did, shoot, I did it today. I was at the doctor's office with my daughter. I'm like, oh, yeah, somebody sent me a deal last week, and I haven't, you know, you looked at it once, you hit read, and then forgot about it. [00:03:57] Gordon Smith: Yeah. [00:03:57] Sam Wilson: And that's bad for everybody. I mean, that's bad for the broker, that's bad for us as investors. Outside of, though, just creating a set of filters, right, I mean, your platform has to be more than filters, which is just like, Oh, I want to buy in Florida and I want to buy, you know, office space and I want to, it needs to be over 10,000, whatever. I'm just making up numbers. [00:04:15] Gordon Smith: Yeah. [00:04:15] Sam Wilson: What else did you guys do to really dial this in and say, this is a product that the market wants? [00:04:21] Gordon Smith: Yeah, so we've developed a bunch of tools that enable a broker and an investor to transact. So we have a private listing tool, which allows a broker to run an off market deal and decide who they want to admit so they can kind of curate, their buyer database. Or we just develop Private Events, which is actually the first, and since you're familiar with auction, you'll understand this, it's really the first self-service auction tool that can be run by the broker, he or she, rather than relying on a much more kind of structured auction process that the broker doesn't always. [00:04:55] Sam Wilson: That's pretty impressive. I love the idea of a private listing where it's like, Hey, you know what? I want Sam to see this. I want Gordon to see it. I want three other people to see this deal. And again, as opposed to emailing them or texting him or calling you and say, Hey, it's right here inside of the Biproxi platform. When you say quality goes down, I'm thinking of some other well-known sites. I probably shouldn't mention 'em, but quality goes down as these deals just get, you know, they put a name of a website in there and say, that's where deals go to die, right? I think that's probably what you're referring to. How did you get your company built? I mean, obviously, you have a background in technology, but you're not a technology or a technologist, is even a word, yourself. [00:05:35] Gordon Smith: Yeah. Well, obviously learned a lot at Ten-X when I ran that. You know, I ran product and marketing, and Ten-X really is a pure auction site, so, you know, we always had a vision for really bringing the traditional process online. So if you look at where we're headed long term, this should be a place for a broker to market their listing, you know, list it, market it, and eventually transact online. That's our long-term vision, but obviously, I've surrounded myself with, you know, a great engineering team. Our co-founder runs product. She's got a lot of experience and then it's all about the team you built. [00:06:06] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. That's absolutely cool. And you guys really have two components. You've got the broker side, which is one part of your business you serve. And then you have the investor side that you serve. Are those two different animals or is it something that it's kind one of the same? [00:06:22] Gordon Smith: No, they are. I mean, we believe fundamentally that our platform will get massive adoption if we can bring more investors to the platform 'cause that's ultimately what the brokerage community wants, right? They want buyers for their listings. And we have a couple of tools that are interesting for investors. We have a product called Data Explorer, which gives you all the national tax record data on every property in the United States, including owner unmasking if we've got it. Transaction, financing history, demographic data, and we're going to keep adding to that and that product is actually free on our site. [00:06:55] Sam Wilson: Wow. That's impressive. I mean, that's a whole suite of tools. I mean, you've got so many different data providers out there. [00:07:02] Gordon Smith: Well, you've got Black Knight obviously. Yes. First American has their own data product. Our partner is a relatively new company called Cherry. And we use them because they ingest all this data, but spend more time cleaning it. So it's better quality than what you might get from a raw tax record. [00:07:19] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. And so I guess from an end-user experience, you guys monetize this from a subscription model or how do you guys make money on this? [00:07:27] Gordon Smith: Yeah, we are purely a SaaS model, which, again, if you look at our self-service auction product, you know, the cost of running that for a broker and an investor is meaningfully less than, you know, paying a three to five point buyers premium. [00:07:41] Sam Wilson: That's fantastic. What are some problems in the marketplace right now that you guys haven't yet solved, that you look forward to solving? [00:07:49] Gordon Smith: We eventually want to bring the whole transaction. We want to be the place that powers the transaction, so we're not really trying to be a marketplace with, you know, hundreds of thousands of listings. We want this to be a place where a broker and investor can actually transact online. So we've got some third-party integrations that we're looking to add, which would include, you know, diligence, title, contract negotiation, all the kind of things that we want to bring online. [00:08:15] Sam Wilson: Are there asset classes, and hopefully I'm asking the right question here, but are there asset classes that you guys don't have the data for? I asked this specifically ‘cause I used to be in parking. Back in pre-pandemic, we bought parking lots and parking garages and I couldn't find data on that anywhere. [00:08:30] Gordon Smith: Yeah, that's actually a good question. I'm going to go back and there's definitely 11 non-disclosure states where the data's not as good. And there's roughly, I don't know, 3,300 counties in the US, and all of them kind of present their data differently. So, you know, that's a little bit of a challenge, but it's getting better and better. I think in general, we've got tax record data on pretty much everything. We might not have transaction data and then nondisclosure states. [00:08:54] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. Yeah. And that would be an interesting challenge to work around, 11 non-disclosure states. And by that, can you tell our listeners what that means? [00:09:03] Gordon Smith: Yeah. So what it really means is, you know, when the deed is signed, and I think the mechanics are probably different every state, but the sales price is not disclosed publicly. [00:09:12] Sam Wilson: Right. Got it. That's very, very helpful. Tell me this, on the buyer matching side, can you walk me through that process and why that's so important to what you guys do? [00:09:22] Gordon Smith: So, you know, one of the buyer investor complaints is that when they submit a lead to another site, the broker usually just gets an email address without any detail on who that person is. And in some cases, the broker's getting so many leads and it's hard for them to follow up on all of them. So our basic thesis is by asking the buyer to be very specific about what they're looking for and asking the broker to actually profile who they think the logical buyer is for this asset, then we run a match, and if there is a match, then we put the investor's information in the broker's dashboard. We don't disclose the phone number until the investor says they'd like, you know, to speak to the broker 'cause we obviously want to respect that. But that is basically, we run the algorithm and if there's a match then we put the two together. [00:10:13] Sam Wilson: I mean, that's so simple. It seems so simple, but yet I'm sure it's quite complicated on the back end. But, I mean, what a cool way to get curated listings sent right to you as an investor, as opposed to, again, you know, reading that email from this morning where there's probably eight or 10 different properties on that email blast. And I'm like, No, that's the wrong state. No, that's not. And you got to go to the bottom. And then by the time you got into the bottom, somebody's interrupted you and you forgot all about it. [00:10:38] Gordon Smith: Yeah, no, it's a real promise. And it's, you know, if you look at Apple's privacy changes, it's even harder for you as a marketer to track even who's opening those emails anymore. So a gain, it's really curation over aggregation. [00:10:50] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. And I think one thing you said though, that you guys don't want to become though, is just a giant listing site. Like, there's enough listing sites out there. So how do you effectively onboard brokers with their opportunities, match those two, then investors, without becoming a listing site? [00:11:08] Gordon Smith: So it's not about the quantity of listings we've got on the site. We want a broker to think of our platform as a place to bring their listing and run their sales process. So, you know, we don't need 50,000 listings to do that. We just need a very intentional broker who wants to run their process. We spend all our time driving investors to our platform. We think we need roughly, probably five to one investors for every listing, right? And then if they don't find anything that exactly matches what they're looking for, at least they've got our data product, you know, to do some discovery on their own. [00:11:41] Sam Wilson: What's the adoption process been like for you guys? [00:11:44] Gordon Smith: So right now we're kind of in a free promotional period. We're really spending more time just getting user adoption. And we probably intend to, you know, start putting our paywall up in early 2023. But right now, it's just about getting people to use and love the product. [00:12:02] Sam Wilson: Yeah. I wondered about that, you know, and and I'm not in the technology business, but I wondered about that early on, how you guys tackled that problem 'cause you know, early on you have to have people using the platform in order to generate interest, generate just kind of some momentum there. [00:12:16] Gordon Smith: Yeah. But they'll always be a free component of our product. Like I said, that's our data product that'll always be available to investors if they want to do some discovery. And that's our general theory. [00:12:26] Sam Wilson: That's really, really cool. I absolutely love that. Is there anything else that comes to mind that you say, Hey, here's something that I really wish people knew about our platform and about what we do that I haven't covered. [00:12:37] Gordon Smith: Well, I think, you know, for a broker who's looking to upload their listing, it's a very intuitive process. We've spent a lot of time, you know, if if you are marketing a retail asset, it'll then give you a choice of what type of retail asset. So I think, you know, as a, just a core listing product, it's actually very intuitive and easy to use. All our messaging, it stays in the app. So every asset you've ever looked at or spoken to a broker, you have that in the app forever, right? So you always have a history of all your interactions, and I think that's, also a big difference. [00:13:10] Sam Wilson: It sure is, especially as you're developing relationships with new brokers and new markets. It again can be, you know, you're solving problems that I think about where it's like, Oh yeah, I reached out to somebody. I can't remember his name. Who was that again? [00:13:21] Gordon Smith: By email. [00:13:22] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Right, right. Then you're searching email by asset or where you think it was located. And again, it's just a cluster of like, this is never going to actually locate that. That's really fantastic. [00:13:32] Gordon Smith: So the idea is that you know, all your messaging, either as an investor or a broker is all in your app, in your dashboard. [00:13:37] Sam Wilson: Man, that's really, really cool. When did you guys hit the go-live button? When did this officially launch? [00:13:43] Gordon Smith: We went live in October, November of '21 with kind of our V1 of the product. We released, you know, Private Event. We released Private Listing kind of in the summer of this year. So it's kind of really, now, you know, we're kind of putting the pedal to the metal. [00:13:59] Sam Wilson: Man, that's cool. I love it. I'm looking forward to getting in and spending more time there on your website. For those who are listening, that's Biproxi, B I P R O X I.com. Look forward to checking that out a little bit more. Gordon, if our listeners want to get in touch with you, and I know I just mentioned your website as well, but if just want to get in touch with you, learn more about what you guys do, what's the best way to do that? [00:14:20] Gordon Smith: Probably just my email. It's gordon@biproxi.com. They're free to call me if you want me to give out my phone number, but probably email's easiest. [00:14:27] Sam Wilson: That's fantastic. I love it. Gordon, I'm looking forward to using your product. This will be a lot of fun. I'm going to spend some time on there getting my information uploaded 'cause I know there's certainly an asset class I specialize in that I look forward to, yeah, put it out there what we're looking for. So thank you again for building the product and, yeah, thanks for coming to the show today. [00:14:43] Gordon Smith: Awesome, Sam, great to meet you.
