COFOUNDER, FRAME.IO
Ever watched a Facebook video? There’s a good chance it was made using Frame.io,
a subscription-based Web platform for creating videos. It takes traditional editing soft-
ware and, using a page out of Slack’s playbook, adds a new layer that makes it easier for
multiple people to collaborate. Frame.io has 380,000 users, including fi rms like Snapchat,
Apple and Disney. “With those higher-end clients it’s more pressure to keep the platform
up and developing,” John Traver says. More than 700,000 videos are uploaded monthly
to Frame.io, which has raised $32.2 million. “People are pivoting to video because it’s the
preferred way to consume information,” says Traver. “You know, people typically aren’t
reading as much as they used to.” —Madeline Berg, Emily Inverso and Mark JoyellaRyan Williams, 29
COFOUNDER, CADRE
What does Ryan Williams think about commercial real estate? “A pretty Jurassic
industry,” he says. Cadre, he insists, is the dawn of a new age. He founded the start-
up in 2014 with heirs to the Kushner real estate fortune: Harvard classmate Josh, co-
founder of Oscar Health, and Jared, son-in-law of President Trump. Their business
off ers an online marketplace for pre-vetted real estate deals: “a digital stock market
for real estate today and for other alternative asset classes in the future,” says Wil-
liams. It collects fees from investors—the company won’t off er specifi cs but insists
they’re 40% less than private equity fund fees. Investors
have used Cadre to close a dozen deals, worth a total
of $1 billion. For now, Cadre is open to only accred-
ited investors (folks with at least
$1 million in net worth).
