Editorial Perspective
Second Century Ventures is the venture arm of the US National Association of Realtors—the world's largest real estate trade body. Their REACH UK scale-up programme (4 cycles completed, 25+ startups) offers unmatched access to real estate decision-makers, associations, and industry events. They don't just write cheques—they connect founders to property agents, landlords, and operators through Propertymark's 18,000-member network and TDS Group. Best fit for PropTech founders targeting letting agents, estate agents, property managers, or landlords. The programme's 2025 cohort covers rent collection, retrofit finance, waste management, and leasing automation. Weak fit for pure ConTech or commercial RE enterprise sales.

Tomas M. Krogh
Fractional Chief Commercial Officer
I specialize in taking founder-led commercial engines apart until only the parts that work are left standing. Before advising, I operated-scaling a business from zero to the FT1000 list three years running and facilitating 10 billion DKK in property transactions. I don't write polite advisory decks; I give you the exact commercial reality check you need before an investment committee does it for you.
