At PropTech IQ, we’re thrilled to share some exciting news. Our founder and CEO, Taylor Wiederkehr, is stepping into the podcasting spotlight as a co-host of the newly announced “Multifam Trailblazers” series. Launched in collaboration with Builder Innovator and Fenix Group Consulting, this monthly webcast series is set to debut in Q1 2025 and promises to be a game-changer for multifamily professionals navigating the ever-evolving world of property technology.
Announced on January 29, 2025, from Boston, MA, “Multifam Trailblazers” aims to deliver deep, actionable insights into how technology is reshaping the multifamily industry. The series will explore the most promising and pragmatic tech solutions available today, from enhancing resident experiences to boosting operational efficiency, driving ancillary revenue, and increasing property values. Along with co-host Demetrios Barnes, CRO of ZenniHome, Taylor will bring their combined expertise to guide property owners, developers, and managers through the complex landscape of proptech innovations.
“Technology has never been more important or bountiful for multifamily companies,” said John Galante, President of AE Ventures, Inc., the driving force behind Builder Innovator. “Our collaboration with Taylor Wiederkehr of PropTech IQ and Demetrios Barnes will seek to guide multifamily companies through the thicket of products and solutions to find the most promising and pragmatic applications.” This sentiment resonates deeply with PropTech IQ’s mission to democratize property technology and empower decision-makers with clear, data-driven insights.
For over a decade, Taylor has been a trailblazer in the multifamily space, leading groundbreaking initiatives like the smart home integration partnership with Google/Nest and Dwelo at Alliance Residential Company—a collaboration that redefined industry standards. Now, as the visionary behind PropTech IQ, he’s bringing that same innovative spirit to “Multifam Trailblazers.” With PropTech IQ’s unique position as the industry’s first independent property technology validation provider, Taylor will offer listeners an impartial, expert perspective on how technologies like smart thermostats, keyless entry systems, and AI-driven tools can transform communities and deliver measurable returns.
This podcast isn’t just about exploring trends—it’s about providing practical strategies. Whether it’s uncovering how tech can streamline operations or sharing real-world examples of boosted NOI and ROI, Taylor’s insights will reflect his years of hands-on experience and PropTech IQ’s commitment to cutting through the noise. Paired with Demetrios Barnes’ operational expertise, the series promises a dynamic blend of vision and execution that multifamily leaders won’t want to miss.
We’re proud to see Taylor take on this role, amplifying PropTech IQ’s mission on a new platform. “Multifam Trailblazers” is more than a podcast—it’s a resource for the industry to go faster and further with technology, and we can’t wait for you to tune in.
