About the Guest

From software tech start-up veteran to CEO of Black Swan Real Estate, Nick Stageberg has always been an entrepreneur at heart. 

Before real estate, Nick enjoyed an extremely successful career in enterprise software.  Over 9 years, his first startup went from $13M in venture capital to $100M in private equity sale.  After that, he helped the Mayo Clinic create a software development startup which resulted in him leading 13 teams of engineers after only 3 years.  Along the way, Nick and Elaine built a real estate portfolio which eventually became Black Swan Real Estate.  Nick has been able to leverage the innovative tools and management techniques from the technology world in real estate, which has given Black Swan an incredible advantage over legacy firms in the industry.
