At NAR’s iOi Summit this month, the annual Pitch Battle will aim to identify the next great innovation to help your business flourish.
Twelve technology startups in the real estate space with new offerings such as fractional ownership, home renovation and rental solutions are poised to shake up the real estate industry. These budding companies will take the stage later this month at the National Association of REALTORS®’ 2022 Innovation, Opportunity & Investment Summit in Los Angeles, competing in a “Shark Tank”–style Pitch Battle for crucial funding to widen their reach.
Each of the preselected companies will showcase their innovations live in a four-minute pitch about their product or service and how it can improve the real estate industry. Each company also will face a rapid-fire question-and-answer session from a panel of judges. The winner of the Pitch Battle will receive $15,000 and booth space at NAR’s annual conference in November, “NAR NXT, The REALTOR® Experience.”
“In today’s real estate ecosystem, innovation is accelerating, opportunity is exploding and investment is at a record high,” says NAR CEO Bob Goldberg. “At the iOi Summit, real estate professionals, investors and innovators gather to cultivate and champion the most impactful ideas that will disrupt the status quo and advance the industry.”
