Rod has embraced the use of Reg A+ (yup, that's "mini IPOs" to us mortals) to raise capital, including for real estate sponsors.
Â
Most recently, he's taken it a step further with "RodBot," a custom AI chatbot, bringing a whole new layer to investor interactions and support.
Â
Rod breaks down how AI is transforming capital raising.
Â
From compliance-minded chatbots that stay in line with securities laws to sophisticated systems that predict investor interest, he's sharing the good, the bad, and the sometimes hilarious challenges (hello, hallucinating bots!).
Â
Plus, you'll get insider tips on how AI can streamline responses to those endless investor inquiries and even suggest optimally crafted email replies.
Â
