REACH accelerates brands <em>into<\/em> the real estate industry. <\/p>\n<p>REACH <a href=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/real-estate-tech\/nar-is-accepting-applications-for-reach-applicants-who-should-apply\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">offers<\/a> deep mentorship from association executives, real estate practitioners, to other companies that have gone through the program, fast tracking any brand past the learning curve. You don&#8217;t know what you don&#8217;t know, and the program busts companies beyond that phase. <\/p>\n<p>This week, REACH expands to the UK, but did you know it&#8217;s already in Canada (as of last month) and Australia (as of June 2019)?<\/p>\n<p>REACH UK will be led by Valentina Shegoyan, who brings over 15 years of experience in real estate, technology, and financial advisory. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited to join the Second Century Ventures team and lead the REACH UK program,\u201d Shegoyan said. \u201cReal estate professionals and proptech entrepreneurs play critical roles in driving innovation in real estate.
