Most real estate deals don’t die because they’re bad…
they die because capital and execution are completely out of sync.

Today’s guest is solving that at a $3.5 trillion level…
and what he’s building could completely change how real estate gets owned.

What if the biggest problem in commercial real estate isn’t deal flow… but broken capital flow?

In this episode of The AI Edge Podcast, Louis sits down with Alex Bell, Founder & CEO of AVKI, who is building the infrastructure layer for tokenized real estate at an institutional level.

This isn’t another crypto conversation.

This is about:

• Why deals fall apart even when they should close
• The disconnect between capital, timing, and execution
• How banks and asset managers will offer fractional real estate ownership
• What “tokenization” actually means in the real world
• Why this shift could impact a $3.5 trillion private CRE market

Alex breaks down how his platform is creating the rails for ownership, liquidity, and access, while staying compliant and aligned with regulators.

If you’re an operator, investor, or developer, this conversation will change how you think about capital, scale, and the future of real estate.

🎙️ GUEST INTRO

Today I’ve got Alex Bell with me, Founder and CEO, building the infrastructure layer for tokenized real estate at an institutional level.

We’re not talking about hype or marketplaces.

We’re talking about the actual rails, the legal, technical, and compliance systems that allow banks, asset managers, and financial platforms to offer real ownership in real assets.

Alex is focused on solving one of the biggest problems in commercial real estate…

the disconnect between capital and execution.

Alex, welcome to the show.
