The Opportunity

Problem

Solo proptech founders can't effectively validate ideas because real estate professionals dismiss indie tools for established competitors.

Solution

PropPing connects solo proptech founders with pre-vetted real estate professionals for quick, paid validation interviews. Professionals are positioned as 'industry experts testing upcoming tools from top teams,' bypassing dismissal of indie products. Founders get recorded calls, transcripts, and insights to iterate fast.
