How PropTech Will Revolutionize Real Estate & Building A Startup to $780 Million w/ Zain Jaffer (GP at Blue Field Capital)
In this episode, Shamus Madan interviews Zain Jaffer, discussing his background, advice for startup founders, insights on fundraising, and his transition into PropTech. They delve into the differences in real estate investment, the rise of PropTech, and the importance of financial management in startups.
Zain is a lifelong entrepreneur who started his first venture when he was just a teenager. Throughout his career, he built many startups, with the most successful one being Vungle. Have you ever seen those ads in games asking you to play a video to continue? Yep, Zain and his team were the creators of that. Years later, Blackstone acquired Vungle in 2019 for $780M. Shortly afterward, he started Zain Ventures, boasting a diverse portfolio of real estate investments and Prop Tech startups.
Zain’s success as both a founder and investor has made him a leading authority in the realm of startups and venture capital.
