How Web 1.0 and the Pandemic Changed Entrepreneurship and Startups

The PropTech VC Podcast

This episode will cover what happened when these technologies were introduced and how they changed during the pandemic.

When the internet was born, it was supposed to be a way of connecting people. But it turned out to be so much more than that: It was a way for them to work together, learn things, and create new businesses.

The pandemic brought about many changes in how people thought about online businesses, including the fact that some of them went out of business completely while others decided to change their focus entirely.

The Occupier Team combines their deep experience in the commercial real estate (JLL) and proptech industries (VTS, ProCore, WeWork) and applies it to the world of the occupier.

Tenants face unique real estate challenges, and Occupier set out to build digital solutions that automate and streamline the management of their lease portfolio and transactions.

Occupier was started to connect brokers, real estate teams, and lease accounting professionals to make smarter, more informed leasing decisions for the business.
