Industry Connections
Venture investors, founders and operators come to talk with our members directly — unedited, on the record, with student questions first. Conversations, not panels.
To unite students acrossdisciplines and universitiesto shape the future ofthe built world throughtechnology, entrepreneurship,and innovation.
The Intercollegiate PropTech Club started in 2025 with a handful of students on different campuses who kept running into the same question: how is technology changing the way the built world gets designed, built, and operated? Nobody had a clean answer, so we built a place to go looking for one.
Venture investors, founders and operators come to talk with our members directly — unedited, on the record, with student questions first. Conversations, not panels.
Our members come from top universities across the country and share one conviction: that technology is going to reshape real estate and the built world. Curious, technical, and already building.
Speaker sessions, demo days where student teams pitch straight to investors, and cross-university build sprints on real PropTech problems. Programming that earns the room.

Stanford University
Larry Liu is a Master's candidate in Civil Engineering at Stanford with a focused interest in venture, startups, and the intersection of technology and the built environment. He previously spent 3+ years as an architectural engineer at Stantec — an experience that showed him firsthand how much of the industry still runs on decades-old tools, and set him on a path toward proptech. Larry earned his Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering from the University of Waterloo. He founded the Intercollegiate PropTech Club in 2025.

UC Berkeley, Haas School of Business
Hayley Carter is an MBA candidate at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business (Class of 2027) with a focused interest in real estate and the intersection of innovation and the built environment. She previously worked in project management and business operations, most recently at WeWork — an experience that deepened a longstanding interest in the built environment and hospitality, and set her on a path toward a career in real estate. Hayley earned her undergraduate degree in American Studies from UC Berkeley, where her thesis on the history of post-WWII American suburbs offered an early lens into the forces that shape how and where Americans live. She is a ULI Chamberlin Fellow, and currently serves on the boards of the Berkeley Real Estate Club and the Berkeley Female Founders and Funders Club at Haas.
Whatever you are studying, if you care about how the built world gets made there is a seat here. Become the leader and advocate in your student community!
Our members are already researching, prototyping and starting companies in this space. Partners put that work in front of people who can move it forward. This club is here because of the people who back it.
You have built something in this industry, and there is a room of students who want to understand how. Sessions run 45 minutes, remote or in person, and the questions that come back are genuinely good.
