Venture capitalist Joanne Wilson of Gotham Gal Ventures says it’s a promising time for startups looking for funding because “you’re seeing people in that space invest in verticals they probably never would have touched in a million years, real estate being one of them.”
If you do get the ear of a venture capitalist, she says, “You need to be able to show traction and scale and use … because it might be a sector that the person on the other side of the table doesn’t necessarily understand.”
