Aaron Block is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of MetaProp, a New York-based venture capital firm he launched in 2015 that focuses exclusively on the PropTech industry. Before founding MetaProp, he served as chairman and CEO of BayRu and previously led the Chicago region for Cushman & Wakefield. His investment thesis targets early-stage real estate technology companies, generally from pre-seed through Series A, with a primary focus on software alongside some hardware and tech-enabled services. The firm typically invests between $250,000 and $3 million per startup, often making follow-on investments as companies grow. Notable portfolio companies include the broader MetaProp portfolio of over 135 technology companies across the real estate value chain, though specific named examples like Compass or Opendoor are frequently associated with the firm's early-stage activity in PropTech. Block is also a best-selling author and speaker who frequently articulates the intersection of real estate and technology, emphasizing that MetaProp serves as a "sandbox" for testing innovations across 20+ billion square feet of real estate.
