Скачать или смотреть Trust, Tech, & Growth at Rentvine with Tollie Brown | Peter Lohmann's Podcast

In this episode of Peter Lohmann’s Podcast, I’m joined by Tollie Brown, Principal at Mainsail Partners and board member at Rentvine.

We dig into why Mainsail, a $4B growth equity firm, invested $74M into Rentvine, and what that means for property managers. Tollie breaks down the differences between venture capital, private equity, and growth equity - and why those distinctions matter for operators choosing their tech stack.

We cover what makes PropTech so attractive to investors, why trust is just as important as features, and the risks and opportunities she sees in the property management industry. Tollie also shares her take on AI, integration vs. consolidation, and what really pushes property managers to switch software.

If you’ve ever wondered how investors view our industry (or what Rentvine’s raise means for the future of PM software) you’ll want to hear this one.
