Helping B2B Tech Sales AE's earn passive income while saving taxes by investing in real estate. From $220MM in tech sales to 700 apartment units. Soon to be best-selling author.

Tech Sellers looking to:

☑️ Lower your tax burden
☑️ Escape tech sales burn-out
☑️ Create a sales "escape plan"
☑️ Generate passive income through low risk hands-off real estate investing

My Story: 

Having sold $220M as an Enterprise Account Exec., I was making a ton of money but I was getting killed on taxes and sales just became a transactional flywheel. 

I had to keep selling, selling, selling to keep my head above water.

I finally realized that Tech Sales was really a vehicle to creating wealth by combining it with real estate investing where I can start to put my money to work for me, so I don't have to keep working for my money.

Benefits:

1️⃣ Diversify your W2 sales income (insulate yourself from job loss or market shifts)
2️⃣ Save on taxes (bigger/better write-offs! Save a ton on taxes & earn a return)
3️⃣ Low risk, hands off passive investments (no 2nd job of dealing with tenants / toilets)
4️⃣ Put your cash in the bank to work for you (like the wealthy do)

What we offer:

  ---  Our invitation only investment club helps Tech Sellers to quickly learn how to invest passively in apartment real estate deals that we screen and vet for you, saving you hundreds of hours.

My Real Estate Background and Record

🏦 Sometime in 2017 thanks to a desire to create passive income, I discovered multifamily real estate investing and fell in love.

👛 I put together my first deal with a group of friends in 2019, a 28-unit in Houston, TX.

We put our second deal together, a 12-unit, in Austell, GA.

Our 3rd, a 56-unit in Atlanta, GA, followed by a 96-unit in Augusta, GA.

Our 5th deal, our largest, a 278-unit in Shaker Heights OH came together during COVID, our most difficult to pull off, but had so much untapped potential.

🏧 We exited three deals of our deals and achieved the following returns for our investors;

  ---  28-Unit - 1.83x Equity Multiple and 57.79% Avg. Annual Return 💰 
  ---  96-unit - 2.86x Equity Multiple and 17.49% Avg. Annual Return 💰💰 
  ---  56-unit - 3.27x Equity Multiple and 103% Avg. Annual Return    💰💰💰

After scaling several subscription models to 8-figures over the years, I started noticing some patterns — particularly within the owners and executives…

In an effort to be ‘lean’ they would stretch themselves really thin, especially in the marketing department.

As a result, they pour seemingly endless hours and healthy budgets into low-performing initiatives.

Maybe they’d "experiment" with an agency… or three. Next thing they’d know, they’d be:
🧨 wasting their valuable marketing budget on angles and ideas that produced mediocre results because they lacked precise attribution
🧨 juggling a revolving door of agencies, resulting in low-performing ‘Frankenstein’ projects that delay your company’s potential rapid growth
🧨 stuck in ‘freemium limbo’,  lacking the right strategies for converting free users into happily paying subscribers
… the funny part? They really wanted to focus on making better products… and more money all along!

That’s when I developed the ScaleEngine Framework. It’s a 4-step process that removes SaaS founders from marketing, while helping them understand their customers on a deep psychological level.

With it, they’re able to position themselves for success, and run campaigns that convert so they can:
✅ position their company as an industry leader so they can set themselves up for a lucrative capital raise or company sale
​✅ implement profitable, industry-leading pricing models that increase revenue by as much as 3.4x
​✅ firmly understand what’s working, what isn’t — and most importantly, why for consistently higher return on your marketing dollars
​✅ spend less time marketing, and more time developing your product and growing your company

In fact, I’m sharing this ScaleEngine Framework…
The same framework I used to help a subscription model scale from $0 to $50M in ARR within 17 months — step-by-step!

I’ll be going over it, in detail as part of my free, one-hour webinar.

Here are 4 things we learned as we made a $1M-value brand spot for Lufthansa with AI for under $10k to celebrate its 100-year anniversary.

Most AI creators get these wrong.

1. The prompt is 10% of the work.

Everyone obsesses over prompting.

The Lufthansa spot required: Storyboarding (2 days). Shot selection (200+ generations). Post-production (40+ hours). Sound design (20+ hours).

The AI generation itself? Maybe 5% of total effort.

Craft beats prompts.

2. Use multiple AI models.

One tool can't do everything.

Our stack: Nano Banana Pro for character creation, Veo 3.1 for animation, 

Kling for human motion. Envato for music.

The best creators use 5+ tools. The worst use 1 and complain about quality.

3. Sound design is 50% of believability.

A silent AI video looks fake.

The same video with ambient room tone, footsteps, paper rustling, and subtle music looks like a real production.

Audio is the cheapest way to dramatically increase quality.

4. Generate 10x, use 1x.

For 17 final shots, we generated 200+. For sound, we tested 50+ samples.

The magic isn't in generation. It's in curation.

Your taste is the moat. Not your prompt engineering.

Bonus: The models improve every 8 weeks.

What was impossible in October is easy in January.

The Lufthansa spot would have been unwatchable 6 months ago. 6 months from now, we'll make it in half the time.

This is the worst AI video will ever be. And it's already broadcast-quality.

Want to a spot like the Lufthansa one for your brand? Reply SPOT and I'll send you the instructions for next steps.

We're building 5 case studies at a discounted price in February (the lowest you'll ever get for a spot like this).

If your brand needs broadcast creative without broadcast budgets — this is the window.

Feels good to help people unlock new growth opportunities in their business. This is why I do what I do.

Does an ad always need a hard Call to Action? 

We've received some amazing feedback on the Lufthansa brand spot so far. 

But the best feedback came from someone that made me realize we achieved all of the objectives we had for this spot. 

From the start, we wanted this to be a powerful emotional story that makes people appreciate and like Lufthansa as a brand, as the perfect way to celebrate it's 100th year anniversary.

Here's what he said:

"It resonated with me so much that I'm still thinking about it.

It triggered a sense of nostalgia for people from my past.

It wasn't a direct sales pitch; it didn't trigger an immediate impulse to book a flight.

But I thought it was highly effective for brand building.

I now associate the brand with warmth and familiarity.

If all else is equal, I'm now more inclined to choose Lufthansa for my next flights."

Most SaaS apps are not optimizing for UX and CRO for years into their product lives, and it hurts their customer acquisition costs and growth.

I fix the leak between signup and paid for AI SaaS | Founder at Revensi & BuyerSense AI

I audited 34 YC (W26) SaaS homepages.

The result? 0/34 scored 80+ (an ‘A’) ❌

The average score was 61/100. In school, that’s a C-.

Most founders treat their homepage like a brochure. It’s not. It’s your best sales rep and it should be closing 24/7.

After analyzing the data, most pages broke down in three specific areas:
- Strategic Clarity & Narrative: 68% failure rate
- Trust / Product Evidence: 94% failure rate
- UX/Navigation: 74% failure rate

And yes, even if you’re early-stage, these basics still matter.

Here are the 3 patterns I saw across all 34 audits:

1. The “What Changes?” Gap (Narrative Failure)
68% of the batch failed to clearly explain the before → after in the first 5 seconds. Too many heroes describe what the product is instead of what changes for the buyer. If the outcome isn’t instantly obvious, people bounce.

🏆 Winner: Didit (YC W26) (Outcome-first narrative + clear “new way” positioning).

2. Trust Without Proof (Trust Failure)
94% of the batch failed to provide real product evidence. "Backed by YC" adds credibility, but buyers need proof. If you don’t show real UI, real outcomes, or real customer evidence, it feels like vaporware.

🏆 Winner: Bidflow (High-fidelity UI + clear proof signals right away).

3. The Self-Serve Blocker Wall (UX Failure)
74% of sites make it too hard to evaluate. They hide Pricing, Security, and Integrations behind a "Book a Demo" wall or bury key info. Buyers don’t want a call just to check basics.

🏆 Winner: Didit (YC W26) (Pricing, Docs, and Security are all easy to find and one click away).

🥇 The Standout of the Batch: Didit (YC W26)
Top score: 78/100. Why? They lead with an outcome-first narrative ("Stop losing users...") combined with total buyer transparency.

Quick question for the builders: Which one is hurting your conversion the most right now?

1️⃣ Proof (Missing "Metric + Person" evidence) 2️⃣ Friction (Hidden pricing or forced waitlists) 3️⃣ Clarity (No real UI shown)
