Real Estate Trend #1: Blockchain revolutionizing real estate transactions

NEW PLATFORMS WILL FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

David Walker

CEO & Co-founder, Triplemint

www.cbinsights.com 7Source: Bloomberg

“I think we’ll see more of the actual real estate transaction become more platform-based, as email is still the default technology today, and that creates significant inefficiencies for the consumer.”

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-23/the-latest-acquisition-targets-are-indie-beauty-brands

BLOCKCHAIN: ENABLING THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS


Expediting the process: By utilizing a blockchain distributed database to prove authenticity, ownership can be transferred immediately without time spent on third-party verification.

Reducing Fraud: “Digital ownership certificates” in blockchain could effectively eliminate forged ownership documents and false listings.

Increasing transparency: Houses could be assigned digital identities with a chain of ownership and a list of repair and renovation projects.

Factom is a

blockchain-as-a-service tech company that

secures data including real estate data and property

titles.

LOOKING TO REVOLUTIONIZE TITLE INSURANCE PROCESS

While the current

mortgage process involves hiring a third party to search through

documents for liens on the property, SoFiproposes that paper

records be moved to the blockchain, where a transaction log is

securely stored on a distributed ledger.



Real Estate Trend #2: UK to be the next real estate tech hotspot

ROOM FOR GROWTH IN UK REAL ESTATE TECH MARKET

Alex Gosling

CEO, HouseSimple


“As more people feel comfortable with the online model, we expect online agents to grab a bigger slice of the UK estate agency market. Currently, online estate agents have around 5% market share. We believe this will increase to 15%–20% by 2020.”


LONDON SEES HIGHEST

PERCENTAGE OF EARLY-STAGE REAL ESTATE TECH DEALS

Among the top 5 major

cities with the highest number of early-stage real estate tech deals,

London holds the top spot for highest percentage of early-stage

deal share.

In overall deals, London is currently situated in third behind San

Francisco and New York.


CONSISTENT WITH ITS

CAPITAL, THE UK LEADS WITH HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF

EARLY-STAGE DEALS

Among the top 5

countries with the most real estate tech deals over the period, the UK

leads with 63% early-stage deal share.

The UK is currently second to the US in total

number of real etate tech deals, followed by India, China, and Germany in

that order.



Trend #3: Innovative new ways to determine real estate value

DATA-DRIVEN STARTUPS ARE DEVELOPING NEW WAYS TO MEASURE THE QUALITY OF REAL ESTATE

Ori Allon

Executive Chairman & Co-founder, Compass


“Right now, when you want to buy a place, it’s very hard to really understand the value. Our systems…are able to help us build a more holistic picture of any given property to inform the real estate transaction.”


NEW WAYS TO EVALUATE REAL ESTATE


Solen has developed an

application that can measure and certify the brightness of a property for

2/ Retail Tech


Retail Tech Trend #1: Indoor navigation

SPIKE IN MEDIA

MENTIONS OF INDOOR NAVIGATION SIGNALS INTEREST

A recent NYT article

advised against using navigation apps in stores or malls since “most

mapping apps are not yet designed for indoor spaces and are thus

inaccurate for location sharing.”

Clearly, indoor navigation is not the norm, but

some startups have set out to change that.

STRONG FUNDING TO

INDOOR NAVIGATION STARTUPS SO FAR THIS YEAR

The segment remains

small, but startups are aiming to provide in-store navigation solutions to

retailers in the near future.

The startups shown at left have all raised either

Seed/Angel or Series A funding in 2017.

Retail Tech Trend #2: Using advanced sensing and AI to profile and track customers

STARTUPS WILL HELP RETAILERS LEVERAGE CUSTOMER DATA TO STAY COMPETITIVE

Allan HaimsCEO, StepsAway


“Brick-and-mortar retailers have the opportunity to learn about their consumers in much the same way [as online retailers] by leveraging technology and providing an even greater shopping experience for their customers than online retailers such as Amazon.”


PROVIDING INSIGHT INTO

CUSTOMER (AND NON-

CUSTOMER)

DEMOGRAPHICS FOR ADS

Cosmose is able to

capture each customers’ anonymous phone ID by taking advaapplications

ntage of with location permissions when they enter and pass by certain

areas of the store.

Retailers can later target specific demographics based on the

accumulated data for their marketing campaigns.


https://vimeo.com/225214071

PROFILING

CUSTOMERS BASED ON FOOTWEAR

Startups like Hoxton

provide another source of valuable data for retailers. Hoxton’s foot

traffic surveillance system can count and profile visitors without

collecting personal data or causing the kind of privacy concerns that

arise with facial recognition cameras.


RESPONDING TO

CUSTOMERS IN REAL TIME

The Advertima Engine is

able to detect people’s age, gender, mood, behavior, and even

fashion sense.

The company brands itself as an “experience management system”

that combines both big data and machine learning to create tailor

experiences for customers.



Retail Tech Trend #3: Fully Automated Stores

RIGHT NOW, THINGS ONLY RUN SMOOTHLY WHEN THERE ARE JUST A FEW

CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE OR IF THEY'RE MOVING SLOWLY

March 27, 2017

AMAZON GO FACES MAJOR SETBACKS


BINGOBOX USES MUCH

OF THE SAME TECH AS AMAZON, BUT FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES

While customers must

scan items and pay at a counter, cameras and sensor check to make

sure all items leaving the store have been paid for, and cameras throughout

the store use facial recognition to verify that users are registered with

BingoBox and authorized to be in the store.


UNMANNED STORE

PLANS TO EXPAND AFTER MOST RECENT FUNDING ROUND

F5 Future stores provide

customers with hot food and beverages, along with everyday essentials,

without the need for any human interaction.

The company raised $4.4M in Series A in June

2017 in a round led by Sinovation Ventures and is aiming to open 30-60

new stores within the next 6 months.

Many regulations: Transporting medical goods in the US are subject to

regulations from one or more of the following the agencies: ICAA,

IATA, DOT, CDC, TSA, FDA, OSHA, FAA

Temperature sensitivity: Specimens being transported for medical

testing or transplants need to be kept cool to ensure tissue survival.

Strict procedures: Biohazard disposal requires thoroughly following

procedures to sort and process different types of waste.

Time sensitivity: The Journal of American Medical Association recently

published an article stating that time to defibrillation is the most

important factor for increasing survival in out-of-hospital cardiac

arrest

Regulatory, logistical, and administrative needs of medical specimen and equipment make

transporting difficult.

4/ BLOCKCHAIN


BLOCKCHAIN DEFINED

BLOCKCHAIN

Definition: cryptographically secured distributed digital ledgers, where transactions are recorded chronologically and publicly.

Includes: companies funded by centralized organizations. Companies may have an associated token sale, but are not solely funded by tokens.

Excludes: companies issuing initial coin offerings (ICOs) for funding or funded by decentralized entities


Blockchain Trend #1: Distributed Data Storage

INCREASING DATA

COMPLEXITY NEEDS A NEW SOLUTION

The boom in unstructured

data means previous storage methods may not be sufficient.

Data needs to be

Data shards form into

individual hash challenges,

creating Merkle Trees.

Merkle roots are recorded on

the blockchain (Proof-of-

Senior Advisor, Blockchain Research at MIT Media Lab

“A fundamental advantage of this distributed system… is that

it resolves problems of disclosure and accountability between

individuals and institutions whose interests aren’t necessarily

aligned. Mutually important data can be updated in real time,

removing the need for laborious, error-prone reconciliation

with each other’s internal records. It gives each member of the

network far greater and timelier visibility of the total activity.”
