Founders Day: Future-Proofing Proptech AI

Event Details

Synopsis:

A clunky intercom in Brooklyn. An unplugged surveillance system in Silicon Valley. For Cyrus Claffey, that outdated intercom sparked the creation of ButterflyMX and redefined building access. For Rick Bentley, discovering a disconnected surveillance system inspired the launch of Cloudastructure and transformed AI-powered surveillance.

Now, these two proptech pioneers are coming together to share what they’ve learned about building proptech AI that lasts. In this exclusive founder-to-founder session, they’ll reveal how to future-proof your operations with scalable, secure, AI-ready solutions.

From access control to AI surveillance, you’ll discover how to make smart, lasting technology investments that actually solve problems—rather than create new ones.

What you'll learn:

The Fundamentals: What every property team needs to know about adopting AI in proptech

What to Look For: How to identify future-ready platforms with open APIs, machine learning capabilities, and adaptive infrastructure

What to Avoid: Short-sighted features, closed ecosystems, and “AI-washing” that leads to regret
