Tech Nest: The Proptech Podcast

It was about time to bring back the Tech Nest Podcast. After many requests for interviews and a burning desire to connect with proptech founders, the delay is over. Even better is the news of a new partnership for Tech Nest that will increase our distribution and add resources to producing this show.

I'm stoked to announce Tech Nest will be produced and distributed by FinLedger, in partnership with HW Media. This is a big win for the show, FinLedger, our guests, and for proptech.

From Clayton at HW Media, "The Tech Nest Podcast has joined HW Media to be the official podcast of FinLedger! FinLedger was launched in 2020 as a fintech dedicated news and knowledge brand publishing daily articles, newsletters and virtual events. Starting in 2022, FinLedger is narrowing its coverage focus and dedicating all resources to the proptech vertical – one of the most exciting and high velocity fintech markets for innovation and impact."

2022 is going to be quite a year in proptech if 2021 was any indicator. We're committed to bringing you more proptech interviews, as well as several new types of show formats such as duel discussions and panels. The lineup for January '22 episodes is already stacked and recorded and you can expect at least one new episode each week.

Please subscribe to Tech Nest in your favorite app store and join the Insider's Newsletter for more at TechNest.io or head over to Findledger.com/newsletters to be sure you get all the late episodes, updates, resources, and more.

Thanks for all your support. Excited to be back recording for y'all!

Show Notes


About Nate:
Nate Smoyer is Director of Marketing for Avail, a platform for DIY landlords and their renters. He helped take the company from seed stage through series A, and to exit in just under 18 months. Proptech is a passion and he’s mildly obsessed with the industry. Outside of work, he’s running through the Black Hills of South Dakota seeking adventure. When not running, you’ll find him on the highway riding his Indian Chief Vintage, at the skatepark riding BMX—all before resting by the fire with a glass of bourbon and good book.
