Second Century Ventures (REACH Canada)

Lynette Keyowski, managing partner of REACH Canada, is responsible for overall regional investment strategy. REACH Canada is scaling a class of eight high-caliber North American companies that span diverse segments and address access to affordable housing and homeownership, commercial real estate, and the use of artificial intelligence and Big Data to empower agents.

The goal is to reduce friction and increase global efficiency. REACH Canada has quickly become a leader in the Canadian real estate, prop tech and venture capital landscape.

“For years, I have watched the real estate industry slowly innovate, seeking the technology mirage on the horizon that promised future-proof innovation,” says Keyowski. “A global pandemic has brought us to the edge of the oasis, creating a collective global need that has accelerated slowly evolving trends, removed long-standing barriers and paved a path through the innovation desert like never before.”
