Prashant Kothari built Hamilton Ventures after founding and scaling String Real Estate Information Services from 2005 to a 1,200-employee market leader before selling it to SitusAMC in 2019, bringing deep real estate operations experience to his venture investing. His unusually broad background spans family diamond trading, mortgage derivatives trading on Wall Street, a senior role in Freddie Mac's Office of the President, and multiple startups across ecommerce and real estate technology, giving him a multi-cycle perspective on housing finance that he combines with both CFA and CMB credentials—an uncommon pairing for venture investors.
