RISMedia has announced the launch of its first annual Tech Showdown, a new competition designed to discover and elevate the next wave of innovation in real estate technology.
RISMedia’s Tech Showdown invites companies launched within the past one to three years to submit their most innovative solutions designed to empower brokers and agents—and ultimately, consumers—and revolutionize the way real estate is done. Submissions are open now through October 15, 2025.
Submit Entry
The goal of the Tech Showdown is to identify transformative innovations that have the potential to shape the future of real estate. Submissions will be evaluated based on the product’s uniqueness, the value proposition to brokers and/or agents, its potential to scale industry-wide, and the clarity of recorded and/or live presentations.
The contest will culminate in a live “pitch battle” webinar where finalists will present their technology to a panel of industry experts. In a Shark Tank-style environment, finalists will have the opportunity to showcase how their technology addresses the critical challenges brokers and agents face today.
The winning company will receive a dedicated editorial feature highlighting its technology and vision, a Product Showcase Webinar produced by RISMedia to demonstrate the technology’s potential impact on brokers and agents, exposure at RISMedia’s “Rocking in the New Year” virtual event, extensive social media promotion and an advertising campaign valued at more than $80,000.
