The Story of Cloudastructure: After the theft of a laptop from the office, Televoke CEO and founder Rick Bentley went to the landlord to get the surveillance footage, only to discover the cleaning lady had unplugged the surveillance cameras for the vacuum - no footage, and a thief got away scot free. Dubbing the moment âThe Vacuum Effectâ, Bentley had a vision for his next endeavor: moving surveillance footage to the cloud, so it would never be lost. Bentley and a team of engineers would go on to hip pocket research for more than a decade, during which time he sold Televoke to Uber for $50 million. But technology wouldnât catch up to Rickâs vision until 2016, when large-scale computer vision became possible. Bentley realized with AI processing in the cloud, surveillance wouldnât be just safely stored in the cloud: it could be analyzed there in mere seconds. A landlord wouldnât be looking up who stole the laptop after the crime. Heâd be getting an alert to the crime while the theft was in progress, and potentially, be able stop it. Rick promptly quit his job as an Advisor to Google, and went to work on Cloudastructure in earnest. In early 2021, he would go on to raise $35 million through crowdfunding and hire a sales team to take the Cloudastructureâs AI surveillance to market. To find a market fit, Rick and his team returned to the story of the stolen laptop: his vision had begun with surveillance cameras in a building. By hiring a sales team with decades of experience in property management, he could customize Cloudastructureâs technology to fit that marketâs specific needs, and provide vital technology and service. The hire of Whitney Fraser and her team in multifamily proved that theory true. Whitney landed the first enterprise multifamily deal in 2022. And sure enough, they had a customization need: they wanted the footage monitored by remote guards. Cloudastructureâs engineers went on to build the first integrated Remote Guarding software in the industry, completing it in a record 11 months, and go on to win 8 Homeland Security Astor Awards for the feat and just this past month, they won the Proptech Breakthrough Award for Residential Data Management Platform of the Year 2023. Today, Cloudastructure is a vibrant part of Multifamily proptech, providing both AI Surveillance and Remote Guarding software and services to some of the biggest names in Multifamily Property Management.

Back in 2001 Tom was broke as a joke. A near-death experience while whitewater rafting pushed him to find a new way to break free of his 9-to-5 job.

Tom works with real estate investors of all levels to get their business built (or re-built) correctly, so that their personal goals and lifestyle stays at the center of everything they do, giving them more money, more time and more freedom to spend as they please. It is amazing what a few tweaks to the core elements of your business can do for you. Tom teaches investors how to identify and implement those core elements.
