🎙️ Tech at the Table is back! Episode 3 is live, and this week Zander and I are joined by Alexandra Nicoletti from Camber Creek. Before we start… who in my network is from Washington, DC? More importantly… what’s the one dish everyone has to try?🍽️ Drop your recommendations below. This conversation went in directions I wasn’t expecting. We discuss: 🚀 Why Alexandra left investment banking to back founders, and what she loves most about venture capital. 💰 Why Camber Creek’s investment thesis is evolving as they begin deploying Fund V, taking assets under management beyond $1 billion. We also dive into some of the incredible companies in the Camber Creek portfolio, including Whale Jamie Petraglia, Flex Shragie Lichtenstein, and Bilt Ankur Jain, and what makes them stand out. 📍 Is Washington, DC quietly becoming America’s next technology hub? We explore why innovation is expanding well beyond government, defence, and cybersecurity. 🏢 Why SKIFs - a new blend of office space and data centres - could reshape parts of the built environment. 🤖 Is AI changing SaaS forever? What does that mean for founders, investors, and customers? 📚 Why access to knowledge has never been easier, yet not everyone is taking advantage of it, and how AI is helping people learn faster, work smarter, and even transition into entirely new careers. 📈 We even invent a few new terms to describe real estate’s technology adoption. But my favourite part? It wasn’t about investing. Alexandra opens up about one of the biggest challenges of her career: balancing ambition with family, life, and changing priorities. It’s an honest conversation that I think many people, regardless of industry, will relate to. If you’re hiring, raising capital, building a company, or simply trying to stay ahead of where our industry is heading, I think you’ll enjoy this one. And if you haven’t met Alexandra, I’d highly recommend introducing yourself if you see her at an event. She’s thoughtful, incredibly knowledgeable, and exactly the type of person who makes our industry stronger. 🎧 Listen here: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eCMWYcsR Apple: https://lnkd.in/eP5cXpgR 👇 I’d love to know: What’s the biggest skill we’ll all need five years from now that most people aren’t learning today? Alexandra has also nominated XXXXXXXX to join us at the table… stay tuned. #TechAtTheTable #PropTech #ConTech #VentureCapital #AI #BuiltEnvironment #RealEstateTech #Startups #Innovation
