@RookCap is here to help folks get into houses in partnerships with community-based investors. NOT institutions that want you to rent forever.

So happy to share @kickstartfund's investment (alongside @FirstMileVC & LL Funds) in @RookCap: a company enabling fractionalized home ownership & financing.
We’re excited to be partnering w fantastic founders, @edmessman & Kevin Crawley.
Why we invested: 🧵 /1

[Rook Real Estate @RookCap]

Rook announced a $4.1 million capital raise and access to a warehouse credit facility as it looks to grow its “Shared Value Investment” program, helping prospective homebuyers purchase the right home in return for a portion of the equity upside. #Rook https://t.co/J3q3k04ROG

@RookCap Congrats on the launch, @FirstMileVC is so excited to be part of it!

In Jan 2021, the 30-yr mortgage rate was 2.65% and average new home price in the US was $401,700.

Today the 30-yr mortgage rate is 5.65% and average new home price is $546,800.

Assuming a 20% down payment, that's a 95% increase in the monthly payment (from $1,294 to $2,525).

It is nearly impossible to convince a VC of a thesis they don’t already believe, so the key in fundraising is to ‘discover’ the right partners, not try to educate and convince…

1/ I’VE BEEN THINKING, while doing yard work, abt the #crypto crash & Fathers’ Day. They both relate to one of the biggest lessons my late dad taught me, which came from my grandpa (an 8th grade educated Iowa farmer who had a PhD in common sense). He scoffed at “paper wealth.”

[Ben Blumenrose @benblumenrose]

Increasingly becoming convinced that now is a great time to tackle a meaningful problem with 2-3 people, raise $500k - $1.5M at a fair valuation, and do some heads down building. Seed funds are open for business, talent is looking for work, and no shortage of problems to solve.

@RookCap this is a story i can relate to... here we go

[Rook Real Estate @RookCap]

Once upon a time, housing was just as much about the community outside the 4 walls of the home as it was about what goes on inside

A part of our mission at Rook is to help communities live together once again - whether that's church members, firefighters, schoolteachers etc.
