The online listings platform for office, retail and industrial properties has raised $9M in venture funding.

Raised in the Chicago suburb of Glencoe, Bobby Goodman, 39, jumped into the world of real estate startups after working as a commercial broker for a little shy of two decades.

He co-founded Truss alongside three technologists, one of whom was a long-time client, in 2016 to serve small and medium businesses by building an online listings platform. Truss features office properties in Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Washington, D.C., Miami and San Francisco; retail listings in Chicago and the D.C. area; and just last week launched industrial listings in Chicago and Dallas.
