In this episode of The Grit Mindset, host Matt Rosen sits down with longtime friend and former co worker Vimal Vachani, founder of Crex Software—a SaaS company revolutionizing real estate technology. From his early passion for data and analytics to building software that now serves the entire real estate vertical, Vimal shares how Crex empowers property managers whether they oversee 10 buildings or 1,000+.

Vimal opens up about his journey as a first-generation American entrepreneur, the two-year grind of putting pen to paper before launching Crex, and the challenges of starting a company just as COVID hit New York City. He recalls the reassurance of landing his first client, the balancing act of becoming a dad while running a startup, and the perseverance it takes to push through tough times with grit and hustle.

With honesty and humor, Vimal admits: “Had someone told me how hard this would be, I don’t know if I would have done it.” But his story is proof that grit, family, and an unshakable belief in data’s power can build something truly impactful.
