Kingscrowd's latest founder interview is with Seth Priebatsch, our founder and CEO. He covers what restaurant technology taught us about small multifamily, how we underwrite and manage properties, and why we opened the Groma Real Estate Trust to everyday investors.Much of our team built restaurant technology before Groma. The two industries overlap more than you would expect, starting with the challenge of running thousands of small locations spread across a city.On operations, Seth walks through how Grobot handles the routine work of underwriting, renovation guidance, and resident requests, and where our team stays in the loop because judgment matters.On ownership, he makes the case that housing is one of the primary ways people build wealth, and that renters should be able to participate in that rather than only pay into it. Many of our residents are now also investors in the Groma Real Estate Trust.Read the full interview
