Bit of a late post… but for too many good reasons. A few weeks ago we won the Early Stage Pitch Competition at Venture Atlanta 🎉 Huge thanks to Venture Atlanta Conference, Kent Elmer, SCRA, Nicer Studio, Founderville.vc, NAR REACH and all the angels who’ve been in our corner from the start. Couldn’t have asked for better early believers. Since the V Atlanta win it’s been nonstop — VC meetings, diligence requests, pro formas, NAR NXT prep, REPP prep — all blending together into a great kind of chaotic task surfing. Funny how winning used to be everything when you were a kid; now it feels like just the starting line — keeping up the momentum is where the real skill starts. Execution is everything. And when you're running fast, the whole team has to be executing almost independently. Somewhere in there, our amazing team quietly soft-launched one of the biggest things we’ve ever built: our AI + Human Hybrid editing system — a tool that lets real estate editors and photographers work smarter with the speed and consistency of AI editing, without losing the human touch that makes great media feel alive. (If you want early access, send me a message) It’s been wild actually using what I studied in college the past few weeks — rhetoric and public address (one of those majors your parents question your sanity and employability about 😅 ) — to translate Pixlmob and PropMedia’s ideas across totally different audiences: investors, agents, creatives, and now even AI skeptics. Feels like this “adapt or die” rhythm is just the new normal — and honestly, I’m here for it. To everyone building right now: how are you balancing the talking about it with the actually doing it part? #VentureAtlanta #StartupLife #PropTech #RealEstateInnovation #AI #Pixlmob #PropMedia #Founders
