Matthew A. Schneider — CEO
Researcher and practitioner of real estate, finance, and digital infrastructure. I’ve been in this space since 2020 and tracking digital assets since 2017. I first founded a company focused on tokenized investment syndication, which led me to explore how AI, blockchain, and IoT could bring new levels of transparency, efficiency, and liquidity to real estate. That experience grew into Building, a company focused on turning messy real estate data into something organized, trusted, and usable. We work with developers and asset managers to streamline their information and get their properties ready for valuations, compliance, and tokenization. The aim is to make every project finance-ready from the start. I’m cross-disciplinary, juggling a wide range of fields: architecture, engineering, construction, operations, urban planning, sustainability, blockchain, artificial intelligence, data science, capital markets, compliance, banking, and policy. Outside of running a startup, I travel the world speaking publicly—keynotes, panels, and roundtables—while collaborating with startups, institutions, and government officials. My work advocates for RWA tokenization, data standards, and smarter cities. Improving the built environment and all its dependencies is a challenging but rewarding pursuit. I also host Code & Concrete, a podcast exploring real estate, technology, and the systems that hold cities together. I’ve always been drawn to entrepreneurship. At four years old, I ran profitable theme parks in Zoo Tycoon. At nine, I programmed Minecraft servers and launched a YouTube channel. By sixteen, I had published a novel. From there, I zig-zagged through music production and day trading before landing in real estate, where I’ve been ever since. A quote I like: “Courage isn’t having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength.” — Napoleon Bonaparte
