BIG INTERVIEW: Ivanhoé Cambridge

Having announced a strategic partnership with Fifth Wall earlier this year after investing $85m in four of the VC firm’s funds, Ivanhoé Cambridge is a company determined to grasp the digital future of real estate. But for François Lacoursière, the company’s senior vice president of innovation, it’s not specifically a question of tech.

“We shouldn’t be obsessed with tech,” he says. “We should be obsessed with understanding our stakeholder needs and how they evolve. Then the tech will follow.”
