I back founders building the infrastructure AI runs on. Principles Venture. Built Apply by Cazamio.

The best founder response to a painful constraint is simple: so I built it.

@katiekirsch I'm down

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

Find the bottleneck. Ship the smallest thing that changes the work. That's an edge. Not a demo.

Amazon could pay for that build. A small team couldn't. AI does not kill the constraint. It makes the internal build realistic.

@farzyness @DavidCarbutt_ Great and informative video. Thank you

Proptech companies are selling real estate assets to fund AI development. The irony: real estate tech betting their buildings on software. We're at an inflection point — physical assets → digital infrastructure.

NYC rental inventory down 2 years straight while Brooklyn rents hit record ,296/month. Tight supply + high prices = agents need better tools. This is why we're building https://t.co/VzMsh8OG4g — launch April 22, first 500 agents free forever.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

Every NYC agent asks tenants for the same 12 documents. Most use email/text to collect them. In 2026. We're 40 days from fixing this—Apply by Cazamio launches 4/22. First 500 agents = free forever. https://t.co/VzMsh8OG4g

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

California just banned misleading AI photos in real estate listings. NYC agents: this is coming here. Stop 'housefishing' now—buyers remember when you misled them. Trust is the only currency that matters in this business.

Insurance is becoming the biggest wildcard in NYC rent-stabilized property math. Landlords caught between capped rent increases and skyrocketing premiums. This is how affordable housing dies — slowly, then suddenly.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

89% of top agents projected to use AI-enhanced CRMs in 2026. Yet most brokers I know are still manually tracking leads in spreadsheets. The gap between top performers and everyone else is widening fast. Tech adoption = competitive moat.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

93% of real estate companies say AI matters. Only 7% actually integrated it. That gap? It's the difference between talking about innovation and shipping product. Most are still "exploring" while their competitors are already shipping.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

"Accidental landlords" hitting 3-year highs. When homes don't sell, owners are turning them into rentals instead. Supply squeeze from a different angle — these aren't professional landlords, they're amateurs managing one property. Rent quality varies wildly.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

NYC renter mobility just hit historic lows. People are stuck in overpriced apartments because the application process for finding a new one is still a nightmare. Fix the friction, unlock the market. That's the opportunity.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

Rentberry claims 'world's first end-to-end AI rental ecosystem.' As someone building in this space: AI doesn't fix broken rental workflows—it just makes them faster. The real innovation is rethinking the process entirely. https://t.co/VzMsh8OG4g

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

Illinois pushing Zillow-backed bill to kill pocket listings. Make all properties available to any licensed agent. Good move. Pocket listings benefit brokerages, not clients. Transparency wins every time.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

Rentberry raising 0M pre-IPO for 'end-to-end AI rental ecosystem.' Every proptech founder says they're building 'the platform.' Reality: most agents just need one thing that works. Not another ecosystem. https://t.co/zhyiE6pQi0 does one thing: free rental apps.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

Commission compression is forcing agents to prove their value. Good. The best agents I know save clients time, handle the chaos, and make the process smooth. That's why we built https://t.co/vCBY0kCE0m — free rental applications for NYC agents. First 500 = Founding Members (free forever). Launch April 22.

[Shlomo Landau @ShlomoLandau]

93% of real estate businesses say they're using AI. Only 7% have it actually integrated. That's not an adoption problem—it's a theater problem. Most proptech is a chatbot slapped on a landing page. Real AI means automating the painful parts: application processing, compliance checks, data entry. Not vibes.
