The Back Office is Dying with Henry AI's Sammy Greenwall

How did a former real estate analyst turn his ""stress trauma"" from building pitch decks into a multi-million dollar AI company? Today, we sit down with Sammy Greenwall, co-founder and CEO of Henry AI, to discuss the seismic shift happening in commercial real estate workflows. Sammy shares his journey from playing college basketball to becoming the number two employee at Lev, where he helped scale a tech-enabled debt brokerage from a Chabad house to a $100M venture-backed firm. Together, we break down why Henry AI focuses on delivering ""outcomes over software"" and how it automates the creation of institutional-quality offering memorandums and BOVs in minutes rather than weeks. Sammy explains why he believes brokerages are sitting on data sets superior to CoStar and how AI will eventually bridge the gap between fractured local teams. We also dive into the ""humans in the loop"" philosophy, the reality of enterprise AI adoption, and how Sammy uses tools like Claude to handle 5-hour CEO tasks in just 8 minutes. Shoutout to our sponsor, Henry AI. The fast track to investor-ready decks that actually stand out.
