}}Ryan Williams is a technology entrepreneur best known as the CEO and co-founder of Cadre, a New York-based technology company. He was named to Forbes' "30 under 30" list for 2018,[1] “Crain’s 40 under 40” list for 2017,[2] is one of Goldman Sachs’ “Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs”,[3] is one of Commercial Observer’s “30 under 30”[4] and has been profiled in Forbes,[5] Ivy,[6] technology and real estate trade publications.[7] In February 2019 he was on the cover of Forbes' "FinTech 50" issue.[8][9]

In 2018 Williams announced a deal through which his company, Cadre, will receive at least $250 million (USD) in real estate investments from clients of Goldman Sachs, his former employer.[10][11]

Early life

Williams was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and founded a sports apparel company at 13.[12][13] Williams matriculated to Harvard University, where he founded the Veritas Financial Group, the school’s largest undergraduate financial literacy group.[12][14]

Career

Williams began his career in real estate technology during his undergraduate term at Harvard. He was inspired to create a system to track foreclosed homes after seeing the impact of foreclosures during a trip to Atlanta.[2] By using data about properties and neighborhoods, he was able to start a business purchasing deeply undervalued homes and restoring them to occupancy.[2] This business "flipping" homes with classmates and others as investors was his first entrepreneurial venture.[15]

After graduation from Harvard, he worked at Goldman Sachs and Blackstone before founding Cadre in 2014.[2] He worked at Blackstone in their real estate private equity division.[3]

At 26 years old, he left Blackstone to found Cadre, a financial technology platform that seeks to make the real estate market more like a stock market.[7] Williams currently serves as CEO of Cadre[16] and has led it through a $65 million Series C fundraising round led by Andreessen Horowitz.[17] He has been quoted as saying “Cadre’s mission is to create a more efficient economy, where we can connect the world’s buyers and sellers in opaque assets that have been inaccessible to many.”[18] He believes that increasing the ability of investors to participate in alternative asset classes (such as "energy, natural resources, oil, infrastructure or anything that’s historically been privately held or inaccessible"[19]) will expand the opportunity to build multi-generational wealth to many more members of the world[5] by "giving people direct, deal-by-deal access to commercial real estate, like you would buy and sell something on Amazon."[20] To him, that mission includes a secondary market and the ability of investors to select the deals they are most interested in, at lower cost.[13]

He is a regular speaker at conferences and in news programs regarding real estate technology.[12][21][22][23]

Personal life

Williams is a fan of LSU football.[7] He lives in Greenwich Village.[7] He has discussed his mission as an entrepreneur of color in interviews and says "I've never let anyone outwork me."[13]
