Radically Rethinking Real Estate Sales and Development Software with Simeon Garratt, CEO of Spark

The complexity of building high-density living is fully understood by few, but most of us can at least recognize from the outside looking in there's so many moving parts and pieces. Layer on top of the building part, is the sales and marketing needed in order for projects to start performing. Simeon Garratt, co-founder and CEO of Spark Real Estate Software, has positioned himself and his company to help developers with this very thing. Spark has seen a spurt of growth—even in the midst of the pandemic. They closed a Series A round of funding mid-2021 for just north of $5M and are adding enterprise clients at a quick pace. In this interview, Garratt shares how the pandemic accelerated the need for Spark's solutions, organic growth in sales through referrals and word of mouth, and the need for helping developers start to own their own data. Don't let the title of this interview fool you into thinking this is only about selling real estate. There's more to the story.
