Episode 4 of my podcast series, The BaDFun Podcast, is now live. Moving to the entrepreneurial end of the spectrum this time, the title is “Democratizing Property Buying on a Startup Budget, with Ricardo Barrera”. Here’s the blurb:
“Our guest this week is startup founder Ricardo Barrera, a former Microsoft manager and experienced data scientist who at one time was responsible for optimizing the exabyte-scale data backbone of the world’s largest technology company. Now Ricardo is trying to democratize the way that real estate is purchased by automating many aspects of the property evaluation process. His approach raises the bar on traditional real estate valuation techniques by combining typical real estate data with photography and proprietary models that reveal explainable insights about properties, thereby enabling potential purchasers to make their own educated decisions, without relying on brokers.”
“During the course of our conversation Ricardo focuses on the challenges of creating a data-first direct-to-consumer business on a startup budget, including data access and quality issues, building a minimum viable team, rapidly prototyping potential products, and how to build trust in data models.”
