Can Opportunity Zones become their own asset class? Jimmy Flores, the co-founder and CEO of Qualytics thinks so! Listen to this podcast as he explains how his company is becoming a private marketplace for Opportunity Zone stakeholders and how he is strongly advocating for community and social impact via data collection, measurement, and analytics – the goal of which is to focus on community impact first by working with local municipalities that have all the data to answer the big question: “how can we all contribute to create successful transactions with the most community meaningful results?”
Stakeholders in the Opportunity Zones marketplace include business owners and entrepreneurs, property owners, QOF / Financial institutions, individual investors, technicians / professionals, non-profits, community members, government officials, and any other interested parties. This is Qualytics target domain. But while Qualytics operates mainly in Arizona, it doesn’t mean the principles they are using for success can’t be applied nationwide in other cities. By listening to this podcast, you’ll learn how Mr. Flores has developed an experienced team consisting of opportunity zone experts within the fields of law, accounting, finance, technology, business development, real estate, marketing, and more – and why he’s getting so much support from local communities and government officials.
