Second Century Ventures (REACH UK)

Valentina Shegoyan, managing partner at REACH UK, works with property technology startups, mentors and real estate and technology organizations across the European Union, leading the investment strategy and selection process. Since its 2020 launch, REACH UK has received more than 100 applications from top technology startups, onboarded highly regarded global mentors, and secured a strategic partnership with NAEA/Propertymark.

“As a strong advocate for the property technology industry, it is an honor to be able to lead the newest territory of the global REACH umbrella, REACH UK,” Shegoyan says. “Well known as a leader in global innovation, the UK brings significant opportunity to drive growth in real estate around the world. It is with great excitement that we endeavor to advance the most promising new ideas from around the globe.”

Shegoyan has advocated for diversity and inclusion in property, an industry that has historically been known for gender biases.
