Last week, Greg went deep on “Certainty as a Service”, as a follow up to his piece the previous week on certainty for all. When reverse engineering the components that add up to a sum of certainty that Opendoor and Zillow are selling into the marketplace, he posits they revolve around a few core concepts; inspect, warrant, cash, carry, and float, which make up the ecosystem of certainty as a service.
Greg and I both believe Certainty as a Service (CaaS) will be a major topic of conversation in the months and years ahead as practitioners strategize how to compete against iBuyers.
I dove into the “Home OS” opportunity, an iteration of my previous thinking on the history of a home. We all know operating systems are the core of every computer, phone, and, soon to be car. Eventually, software will control the home as well. A few of the major consumer opportunities that will be enabled as a result are security, inventory management, a financial dashboard, partial ownership, and a home services marketplace.

ADVICE ABOUT ADVISORS
Elie Finegold, who is a real estate and technology entrepreneur and advisor (EIR at MetaProp), posted The Advisor’s advice about Advisors. As someone who has been on both sides of this equation many times, there are some critical pieces of advice Elie shares. Notably, the importance of respecting an advisors relationships and having an agenda sent in advance. I’m always surprised with how many entrepreneurs don’t have a strong answer when asked: “What do you need help with?” – DM
WE DONT NEED NO EDUCATION
More stories are surfacing about the success of graduates from coding schools who seem to find well-paying careers at unbelievable rates. I was lucky to office out of General Assembly when I lived in New York and the quality of most of these schools is top notch, even online. Besides, “According to LinkedIn’s analysis of its 500 million users, emerging online educational platforms like Udacity, FreeCodeCamp, and General Assembly have each placed more full-stack engineers into jobs this past year than any American university.” -GF
