The State of Prop Tech & How You Can Take "Agency" Tactics and Scale it into a Specialized Mar Tech Company

In this episode, Bruce has on Joshua Lipton, his buddy from the Prop Tech world who has transitioned from marketing, to sales, to Director of Product & Operations at Rentsync, which turned from a Marketing Agency to a Prop Tech, SaaS company that is a leader in multifamily marketing software & services, with 20000+ properties on the platform and over five million leads generated annually.

As we go on this episode, Josh and Bruce geek out over the prop tech market, talk career changes and talk about the differences between true SaaS GTM and how to transition out of an agency to a repeatable, SaaS model.

"It's never going to be perfect. But I'd rather have a really good product 85% of the way there today, than a 100% perfect product 2 years from now."
