Chatbots to Capital: An AI Journey

Rod Turner, CEO and founder of Manhattan Street Capital is one of those rare folks who isn’t just talking about AI in finance—he’s making it work. Rod has embraced the use of Reg A+ (yup, that’s “mini IPOs” to us mortals) to raise capital, including for real estate sponsors. Most recently, he’s taken it a step further with “RodBot,” a custom AI chatbot, bringing a whole new layer to investor interactions and support. Rod breaks down how AI is transforming capital raising. From compliance-minded chatbots that stay in line with securities laws to sophisticated systems that predict investor interest, he’s sharing the good, the bad, and the sometimes hilarious challenges (hello, hallucinating bots!). Plus, you’ll get insider tips on how AI can streamline responses to those endless investor inquiries and even suggest optimally crafted email replies. Key Things You’ll Learn:

• How to use a custom chatbot to enhance investor engagement and compliance in capital raising.
• The unique benefits of Reg A+ for scaling and attracting non-accredited investors.
• Insights into AI-driven strategies for streamlining investor inquiries and email responses.
• The challenges and successes of integrating AI in highly regulated securities environments.
• Why staying competitive means adopting tech innovations—or risk getting left behind.

Rod and I dig into everything from the quirks of training AI to why Reg A+ might be the ultimate funding vehicle for sponsors looking to scale while keeping it accessible for everyone. If you’re in real estate, finance, or just fascinated by how tech is reshaping capital markets, tune in. Rod’s journey through the nuances of capital raising—and how he’s harnessing AI to make it all a little smoother—is something you won’t want to miss.
