In this episode of Infinity Podcast, Zeus Hernandez sits down with Andres Leal, one of the world’s leading voices at the intersection of real estate, technology, and venture capital. Andres is a Top 30 Global Proptech Leader, serial entrepreneur, ecosystem builder, and advisor to family offices, banks, and Proptech startups across the U.S. and Latin America. As the founder and former President of the Colombia Proptech Association, he helped catalyze a $1B+ Proptech ecosystem and position Latin America as a global reference point for real estate innovation. Together, they explore how Proptech, AI, and data are reshaping real estate value creation: from asset management and portfolio optimization to investment strategy and ecosystem building. The conversation unpacks the realities of digital transformation in LATAM, the mistakes traditional real estate players make when adopting technology without strategy, and how founders, investors, and institutions can build durable competitive advantage in an increasingly tech-driven market. The discussion also dives into AI’s growing role in asset management, valuation, and operational efficiency, as well as what an “intelligent” real estate portfolio looks like in the years ahead. Andres shares insights from advising startups, scaling platforms, and working alongside institutional capital, offering a rare perspective on where real estate technology is truly headed.
