Former CRE investment banking, now startup founder seeking product feedback

I'm new to the community and was attracted by the quality of discussion in the threads that I checked out. Hoping to contribute here and there if I can be helpful. Also would like to solicit your feedback on a new product.

Quick background on me: spent ~7 years at a commercial real estate investment bank (joined as an analyst, left as a VP). Worked on $12B+ of closed deals, built some custom models, and maintained pipeline and comp databases for our office. I taught myself to code on the side and joined forces with a strong technical co-founder.

Quick pitch on the product: Tower Hunt is a database for commercial real estate investments. Investment teams use it to track their deal flow and underwriting on a map.

If anyone wants to see a demo of the product I'm happy to do so via screenshare.

The initial target audience is regional investors seeking to be more data-driven and efficient. But we've had interest all across the spectrum. Anyone who is serious about investing in commercial real estate can benefit.

Thanks in advance for your input.
