CTO @ District

- Incorporate industry expertise that understand the challenges tech can address - Nav, Arash and Bill have 30+ years combined Real Estate experience.

- Target a big market opportunity - the Middle Market Commercial Real Estate Lending industry is a $250B opportunity
- Have a path to revenue - District is just a few months old and is on track to generate ~$250k in 2018
