- Dealty
Real estate, Home & living
Dealty operates as a real estate services company, positioning itself to streamline the process of buying and selling properties for consumers and agents. The company was founded in 2018 with the idea of instigating change within the online real estate sector. Dealty's business model centers on providing a digital platform that equips users with the necessary tools to manage real estate transactions independently, thereby reducing reliance on traditional intermediaries. Revenue is generated through a flat-fee service, such as a $199 charge to list a property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which then syndicates the listing to major real estate portals. This approach allows sellers to avoid commission fees typically paid to listing agents.Dealty's core offering is its AI-powered platform designed to simplify and accelerate home listings. Upon entering a property's address, the system uses artificial intelligence to automatically populate details like the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. The AI also generates engaging property descriptions aimed at attracting buyers by highlighting a home's key features and adopting the tone of successful local listings. A valuation tool provides a suggested list price based on comparable properties and features. The platform also offers tools for scheduling showings, provides necessary forms and contracts, and facilitates title and escrow processes, aiming to be a comprehensive resource for users to manage transactions from listing to closing.

- Dew Wealth Management
Fintech
Dew Wealth Management is an SEC-registered investment adviser that provides virtual family office services tailored for high-impact entrepreneurs. The idea originated from Jim's frustration with a financial advice system he saw as broken and controlled by brokerage firms and banks, prompting his wife, Mimi, to suggest they start their own client-first company. They initially decided to specialize in serving entrepreneurs, a clientele they felt was underserved. His journey led him to discover the "family office" concept used by billionaires—hiring a dedicated team of tax, legal, and financial professionals. Recognizing that this model was inaccessible to most entrepreneurs, Dew Wealth evolved by 2015 to offer a "Fractional Family Office®" service, providing a similar coordinated, holistic approach at a lower cost. This model acts as a central hub, coordinating all aspects of a client's financial life, including tax planning, asset protection, estate planning, and investments, to prevent the inefficiencies that arise from disconnected professional advice. The firm operates on a fee-based model, offering its services through fixed-fee retainer programs and assets under management (AUM) fees. Service tiers include programs like Wealth Builder, Wealth Accelerator, and Virtual Family Office, with monthly fixed fees ranging from $1,000 to $12,000, in addition to separate AUM fees for investment management. This structure is designed to provide clients with clarity and predictability in costs. The firm's target clients are 7- to 9-figure entrepreneurs, for whom it aims to optimize business value and manage post-exit wealth.
