Episode Notes

Matt Burns spoke to Brynne McNulty Rojas, who's the co-founder and CEO of Habi, the hot real estate startup out of Colombia which reached unicorn status last year. Brynne founded Habi to bring modern home buying tools to low- and middle-class home buyers in her home country of Colombia. Now, with a valuation above $1 billion USD, Habi is a serious player in the LatAm home buying market where the majority of the homes for sale are not listed online. Joining Brynne in this conversation is Mark Batsiyan, a co-founder and partner at Inspired Capital.

Brynne and Mark spoke to us about:

• Habi's growth and what it was like to work with US-based investors
• How Brynne built her team's confidence during a period of uncertainty
• The value of transparency and sharing vulnerability
• And advice to founders raising in today's market

We closed out the show with a new batch of founders for Pitch Practice. And as always, if you want to check out the full video of today's conversation, head to our YouTube channel and stay tuned for more TechCrunch Live!
