What HousingTech Ventures does

HousingTech Ventures, LLC is a Washington, D.C.-based strategy and business development advisory firm founded in 2019 by Managing Partner Matt Hoffman. The firm advises early-stage housing technology companies on strategy, market knowledge, business development, and capital formation, and also serves housing developers, asset managers, capital providers, policymakers, philanthropies, and trade associations on how technology and innovation are transforming the U.S. housing market. Its practice areas include housing supply expansion (adaptive reuse, rezoning, policy development), technology application advisory (including AI evaluation), solutions for vulnerable populations, and climate/sustainability advisory.

The firm operates without proprietary technology products, generating revenue through quote-based professional services engagements acquired via direct outreach, thought leadership, and referrals. Its principal product is the National Housing Supply Summit, co-presented annually with the Housing Innovation Alliance, which convenes roughly 50 industry leaders and policymakers in Washington, D.C. Matt Hoffman is also a fellow at Renaissance Philanthropy, helping to build the Housing Abundance Fund, a philanthropic venture vehicle supporting housing supply innovators. The firm is bootstrapped, with 1-10 employees, and Hoffman maintains a continuous public profile through bylines in the Washington Post, New York Times, Next City, and Multifamily Executive, plus regular conference and podcast appearances.
