Platform Calgary brings together the resources of Calgarys tech ecosystem to help startups launch and grow. Through collaboration and targeted programming, we are a hub and an engine for technology-focused economic diversification and job creation.

Disruption is now. Innovation is constant and fears surrounding its impact go beyond the dawn of modern civilization. In real estate, we are faced with rapid advancements in AVM technology which has empowered consumers but is also raising fears among real estate agents in a world where “robots” can now buy and sell homes. We believe that innovation should not be feared, but rather embraced. While some consumers may choose to buy and sell their home with an “app”, we believe some will also seek a premium, “white-glove”, all-inclusive real estate experience. Specifically, a professional to guide and advise them on all facets surrounding what is most likely their single largest financial asset, their home. This is why we are reimagining the residential real estate client experience. We envision a world where educated professionals can continue to provide elite advisory services alongside robots. Our vision is a real estate world where the consumer has full choice. From FSBO to iBuyers, to a fundamentally new approach. This new approach is the Home Investment Advisor™. Real estate professionals providing their clients with an elite full cycle real estate experience. Before, during and after the transaction.
