I've spent the last week reflecting on a milestone that deserves more than a single day of celebration.
Ten years ago, we started @CREXinc with a straightforward mission: fix what was broken in commercial real estate. The industry was stuck. Deals took months when they should have taken weeks, information sat behind closed doors, and access depended more on who you knew than what you could do.
We believed transparency shouldn't be aspirational. It should be operational. A decade later, we've powered over $1T in transactions and helped millions of professionals research, market, transact, and auction properties on one platform. But the number I'm most proud of isn't the transaction volume. It's the access we've created. CRE is no longer a closed system. It's an open marketplace.
As we enter our next chapter with the recent release of Crexi Vault and continued AI innovation, I'm energized by what's ahead. The fundamentals still matter: trust, credibility, transparency in how information flows. But now we have the technology to deliver on those principles at a scale we couldn't have imagined ten years ago.
To everyone who's been part of this journey (our team, our users, our partners), thank you. You didn't just help build a platform. You helped change an industry.
Here's to the next decade.

This morning, @axios broke the news:
@aryahealth_ has raised an oversubscribed $18.2M Series A.
This capital is fuel for accelerating our mission of using AI to bring humanity back to healthcare delivered across homes, communities, and screens.
In a world obsessed with AI, we wanted to remind everyone that behind every algorithm, there are still people - the ones building it, and the ones it’s meant to help.
So I asked my 9-year-old daughter Arya - the namesake behind the company - to help me tell the "human story".
The story that somewhere along the way, we've made providers really busy with all the "chores" to be done around delivering distributed care.
Forms. Portals. Calendars. Clicks. Text Reminders. Desperate phone calls.
So busy that they don't have enough time-or resources-for what matters. Connecting deeply with those in need of care. And with those delivering care.
We built Arya Health to fix that.
Because the most urgent job for AI right now isn’t to become smarter than humans - it’s to make space for more humanity.
And for that, it needs the best humans - the builders, dreamers, and doers who believe that technology should make people feel seen, not replaced.
If you’re a provider and feel like busywork is keeping you from the humanity in care, please reach out. We'd love to help.
If you're a builder and want to build AI with a focus on humanity, please reach out. We need you to move faster.

11/ And my little Arya for reminding me every day that building a business is never "just business". It's personal. Especially in healthcare.

The @BuffaloBills win probability was as low as 1.1% with 8:37 remaining in the fourth quarter trailing 40-25.
This was the most improbable comeback by the Bills with Josh Allen at QB, and the 13th-most improbable comeback by any team over the last decade.

Figma lore I haven't seen mentioned: Evan Wallace built the precursor to Figma in 24 hours at the April 2011 hackNY Hackathon. He made a website that adds filters to images with WebGL.
He won 2nd place and that project became Figma.

Amazing findings - traffic down not up in the Bronx, Staten Island, and NJ.
“Far from being a policy to benefit Manhattan at the expense of the region, [congestion pricing] has resulted in less traffic overall, even in some places that models predicted it could increase.”

Matt is a gem of an investor, and even better human
Excited to share more about what we’ve been building at Factorial Capital, a new kind of venture firm where we think the people best positioned to identify early stage technical startups are successful tech founders like @ClementDelangue @julien_c & @Thom_Wolf, @iqramband, @hmason, @mhkt and other successful technical founders to invest in their networks and expertise.
We’re delighted to announce the close of $108m of new capital to continue investing in breakthrough seed and pre-seed companies. @byronling1 & I spoke to TechCrunch about the fund, our strategy, and lessons learned from a decade in the NYC ecosystem. techcrunch.com/2023/11/21/tw… (1/2)
While this is a continuation of what we have always been doing, being the first investor to believe in a company never gets old. We’re so grateful for the founders, and investors who have been a part of the journey. We're excited about what is ahead at @twelve_below ! (2/2)

I’ve been hearing from friends and founders in Israel throughout the last few days, and what I’m learning and reading is absolutely horrifying. Acts of terrorism can never be justified. My heart is with my friends, founders, and partners in Israel and I stand ready to help.
This team has been quietly building something awesome and important. Excited to see their story out in the world.
Today Teamshares announced $245M in VC funding to scale small business employee ownership. Thank you to @ychernova and @WSJ for sharing our story. teamshares.info/3qs3tOk
