Jason Freedman has spent 20 years as an entrepreneur with 2 venture-backed exits. He is the founder of 42Floors, the top commercial real estate listings site. As an investor and advisor, Jason has worked with the top companies and can share his perspective of their earliest days. Founders like Eric Wu of Opendoor, Robert Reffkin of Compass, and Sandro and Urska of Bellabeat all share one thing in common: when they started, it was just the founders, foolishly trying to change the world. Now look at them

Jason likes working with founders in these earliest days, when the fate of their company is still uncertain. When there aren’t enough hours in the day. When the real founders are just starting to separate themselves from the pretenders
