State of the GEM 2026
GEM remains a highly intentional community of proptech builders, operators, investors, and advisors—spanning roles, sectors, and geographies across the Built World.
Looking back on 2025, there is much to be proud of. Despite continued macro uncertainty across real estate and venture, the community stayed active, curious, and deeply engaged. We convened more in-person events than ever before, expanded Peer Circles as a core pillar of the GEM experience, and continued to prioritize high-signal conversations over scale for scale’s sake.
The essence of GEM remains unchanged: curated relationships, intellectual honesty, and long-term thinking for leaders building real, impactful businesses.
As we have done each year for the past six years, we’re sharing a transparent look at the community.
Thus, we bring you the State of the GEM 2026…
Read on for membership makeup in terms of sector, roles, and diversity. Plus, we reflected against our 2025 goals and shared our 2026 goals for the community/business.
Thank you to the 563 members who make it all possible. And, yes, we’re still taking applications for new members…
