Timeline

Ryan Williams is a technology entrepreneur best known as the CEO and founder of Cadre, a New York-based technology company.

2014

After graduation from Harvard, he worked at Goldman Sachs and Blackstone before founding Cadre in 2014.

He worked at Blackstone in their real estate private equity division.

At 26 years old, he left Blackstone to found Cadre, a financial technology platform that seeks to make the real estate market more like a stock market.

Williams currently serves as CEO of Cadre and has led it through a $65 million Series C fundraising round led by Andreessen Horowitz.

He has been quoted as saying “Cadre’s mission is to create a more efficient economy, where we can connect the world’s buyers and sellers in Opaque assets that have been inaccessible to many.” He believes that increasing the ability of investors to participate in alternative asset classes (such as "energy, natural resources, oil, infrastructure or anything that’s historically been privately held or inaccessible" ) will expand the opportunity to build multi-generational wealth to many more members of the world by "giving people direct, deal-by-deal access to commercial real estate, like you would buy and sell something on Amazon."

To him, that mission includes a secondary market and the ability of investors to select the deals they are most interested in, at lower cost.

The Economist compared Williams' Cadre to other tools that will "make markets for all kinds of assets as liquid as the stock market."

He is a regular speaker at conferences and in news programs regarding real estate technology.

2018

In 2018 Williams announced a deal through which his company, Cadre, will receive at least $250 million (USD) in real estate investments from clients of Goldman Sachs.

2019

He was named to Fortune's "40 under 40" list for 2019, Forbes' "30 under 30" list for 2018, "Crain’s 40 under 40" list for 2017, is one of Commercial Observer’s "30 under 30" and has been profiled in Forbes, Ivy, and other publications.

In February 2019 he was profiled and on the cover of Forbes Magazine in the "FinTech 50" issue; in 2022 he was a Business Insider "Top 100 Global Leaders Changing Business."

In 2021, he announced the launch of the Cadre Direct Access Fund, one of the largest real estate funds raised during the pandemic and for a digital real estate investment platform.

He followed with the Cadre Direct Access Fund II, a value-add real estate fund.

In early 2023, he led Cadre to secure a spot on the Forbes Fintech 50 a seventh consecutive year.

Later in 2023, he led the company to a liquidity event with its merger with YieldStreet, resulting in the company’s combined assets totaling $9.7 billion.

He remains CEO of the company following the transaction.

Williams has raised and invested more than $1.2 billion in real estate investments throughout the country through his firm, Cadre.

As one of few African American real estate technology founders and CEOs, he has often advocated for actionable change in his industry and society.

Among other specific changes, he has advocated for increasing education about financial literacy as a key to closing America's racial wealth gap.

Williams was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and founded a sports apparel company at 13.

Williams matriculated to Harvard University, where he founded the Veritas Financial Group, the school’s largest undergraduate financial literacy group.

Williams began his career in real estate technology during his undergraduate term at Harvard.

He was inspired to create a system to track foreclosed homes after seeing the impact of foreclosures during a trip to Atlanta.

By using data about properties and neighborhoods, he was able to start a business purchasing deeply undervalued homes and restoring them to occupancy.

This business "flipping" homes with classmates and others as investors was his first entrepreneurial venture.

2020

In 2020, he highlighted the importance of Citizens Trust Bank, an Atlanta bank founded by five Black businessmen and currently a Black-owned bank, to his early success.

As a young Black man he was denied loans by 10 other banks before the then-chairman of Citizens Trust personally called to say that he believed in Williams.

In 2020, Williams published a widely-linked op-ed in CNBC recounting his experience being supported by a Black-owned and Black-founded bank early in his career, and his commitment to increase diversity among participating banks and real estate operators in the future.

In 2020, he published a plan to help increase economic opportunity for diverse communities through "formal mentorship programs to provide hands-on guidance, and ... comprehensive skills-training programs that help people of all ages get a start in careers that will allow them to succeed in a fast-changing economy."

He was interviewed by CNBC's SquawkBox, Forbes, and others in response to his call for proactive steps to increase economic equality.

Later in 2020, he reiterated the importance of remedying racial wealth and power disparities in the United States, noting for example that only 21 of over 4,700 banks in the United States are Black-owned or Black-led.

He further committed to partner with diverse operating partners and lenders, as well as committing at least 10% of Cadre's cash holdings to be held in minority depository institutions to empower them to lend into underserved communities.

In 2020, he and Robert Smith kicked off a Forbes hackathon by discussing their collective commitments to help build transformational businesses that expand economic opportunity for more people.

In 2021, Williams further announced a $400 million fund investing in commercial real estate and backing minority operators and partners to help produce greater economic equity.

Williams later announced that his alma mater, Harvard University, invested in both Cadre and in the $400 million fund intended to drive diversity through democratization.

In late 2021, Williams publicly announced that Cadre sold three buildings for a total of approximately $312 million, providing $95 million in returned capital to investors and an internal rate of return of approximately 17%.

Williams described one of the sales as the largest-ever digital real-estate transaction (i.e., a property bought, sold, and managed using a digital platform).

In 2023, Williams led Cadre through a merger with Yieldstreet, a global alternative investment platform focused on credit investments.

At the time of the merger, Cadre and Yieldstreet together had produced more than $3.1 billion in returns for clients with a total investment value of $9.7 billion.
