oping software and hardware that helps owners, property managers, and renters in multifamily commu- nities to better monitor and protect their assets, as well as create operational efficiencies. “It’s kind of funny when you wake up one day and think, my gosh, my whole life has been leading up to
this point,” he said. “I have spent my entire career embracing tech- nology but also in real estate, and it’s sort of a weird combination.” As a young web developer, Lucas Haldeman began his career at AllApartments.com, one of the first companies to put a database of apartment listings online.
