From a DIY small business solution to a closing repair firm and more, the <\/span>2020 REACH Class<\/strong> plans to make waves in the real estate<\/a> industry over the year. Second Century Ventures, the strategic investment arm of the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae, announced 16 new companies into its 2020 REACH and REACH Commercial program, encompassing solutions that cover transaction management, insurance, home and small business security, digital marketing, clean energy<\/a>, and more.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The REACH program<\/strong> helps launch and accelerate high-growth potential companies in the real estate industry by offering education, mentorship, networking, and exposure in the real estate marketplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cNAR has spent decades exploring and investing in the technological innovations we believe will define the future of America\u2019s real estate market\u2014investments that appear even more critical in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d says Bob Goldberg, NAR\u2019s CEO and president of Second Century Ventures. \u201cWhile we look at this crisis as an opportunity to grow and adapt to the markets of the future, we know it is also a time when NAR\u2019s commitment to equipping REALTORS\u00ae with the technology they need to survive in a rapidly-evolving market is more important than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two classes selected for REACH are companies that have raised more than $50 million in capital, employ more than 340 people, and represent a market capitalization of more than $400 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the support and guidance of our vast global community of real estate industry professionals, strategic partners, investors and mentors, we are confident the 2020 class participants will be among the most instrumental companies to deliver positive and enduring transformation in real estate,\u201d says Dave Garland, managing partner of Second Century Ventures.<\/p>\n
