Quotables “At the time, I was like, okay a drone is cool and there’s some really interesting stuff going on there, but I didn’t really grasp what it meant to have technology under your control and coding taught me that.” “We went back to the world of wholesaling real estate investors because as people in technology or in start ups, we’re looking for the place where we can really innovate.” “The key difference between any other platform and what you can do on TwnSqr is any asset that you upload to TwnSqr, you have complete control over who has access to it and how that’s used.” “The main customer that we’re monetizing right now are the wholesalers, the real estate investors who are posting the properties and who want to take advantage of our tools, but you don’t have to.” Links Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Website: REI INK https://rei-ink.com/
