Week Two Winners

This week’s winners prove that power comes in many forms. Some keep organizations running behind the scenes, others shape founders and ideas into industry-shifting companies. They’re early AI pioneers, sharp investors, and product leaders who refuse to fade no matter how crowded the market gets. They’ve built communities, redefined tired categories, and earned reputations that money can’t buy. Whether they’re quiet operators or loud disruptors, they share one thing: they make real estate smarter, faster, and more valuable.

Week Two is sponsored by Courted.

Blair Kennedy - Maverix Advisory Group

The spine of Maverix Advisory Group, Blair keeps the lights on and makes sure everything runs efficiently. Without her encouragement and support, there wouldn’t be a Maverix, or an 80/80 award.

Tyler Thompson & Dave Garland - REACH

Ideas, coaching, education, opportunities… No one has done more for Maverix than these two have. Some of the brightest minds (and biggest hearts) in the space, they prefer to stay behind the scenes… and will hate that we are putting them on this list. Which is why we’re doing it.

Pierre Calzadilla, Mukund Venkatakrishnan & Ishtyaq (Ish) Ahmed - Upfront

This team has created a cult of personality that just makes you want to work with them, and their experience in building and delivering solidifies it. This isn’t a reputation you can buy. You have to earn it, and these three definitely have.

Giorgi Chigogidze- Purlin

Giorgi was working on AI long before it was cool, and his product shows it. A From consumer-facing to back office efficiency, you can’t find the technology that Purlin has anywhere else. Fun fact: the G is hard “G,” like in “Gary.”

Ashley Stinton - REACH

Ashley’s leadership of the US Residential REACH program continues to show dividends as they consistently graduate amazing companies year after year. Venture investment can be messy, and her attention to detail and ability to wrangle founders (seriously, you all can act wild) is her secret sauce.

Brandon Wright - Tongo

Full of quiet determination, Brandon showcases that you don’t have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. Tongo is on a strong growth trajectory, and that is a testament to his shrewd leadership.

Michael Glazer - Back at You

In a world of shiny new things, Michael has somehow kept Back At You relevant in the tech space. Sometimes the best products don’t need to trumpet their value.

Drew Meyers - GEM

Founder of Geek Estates Mastermind, Drew is a thought leader and thrives on creating a community for those in proptech and adjacent spaces. Drew hosts many events throughout the year, and if you want to be “in the know,” you should join GEM!

Drew Fabrikant - Scout

Smart, efficient, and one of the hardest working founders in proptech. His product is an absolute efficiency/production hack, and he can’t keep up with the demand. That’s a good problem to have in 2025.

Jorey Ramer & Grant Brittain - Super Home Warranty

Jorey has reinvented the home warranty space (it needed it) by founding Super, and Grant is the front person to make sure everyone (you) know about it. These two couldn’t be more different and it works perfectly.
