Dave Garland: Solving Real Estate’s Biggest Problems Through Venture Capital

What if the next breakthrough in commercial real estate starts by asking one simple question: What's the biggest problem the industry needs solved?

In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations, Bruce Bean sits down with Dave Garland, Managing Partner at Second Century Ventures and the REACH program, the venture capital arm of the National Association of Realtors. Dave shares how his unique background as a commercial real estate investor, developer, technology founder, and venture capitalist has shaped his approach to identifying and funding innovative companies that solve real-world challenges across the global real estate industry.

Rather than simply investing in promising startups, Dave explains how his team first works with owners, operators, brokers, associations, and government organizations to identify the industry's biggest pain points. From there, they search worldwide for entrepreneurs building technology that delivers meaningful solutions.
