Groundfloor opens the door to short-term, high-yield returns backed by real estate. We bring together individual investors looking for short-term lending investments and borrowers looking for short-term financing for their specific real estate projects. Borrowers get access to more flexible, faster and cheaper capital than a traditional bank or a hard-money lender. Investors get access to short-term, high-yield investments offering returns that average over 10%.

Harold Dumur is the CEO and Founder of OVA. OVA's flagship product StellarX. Dumur is confident that StellarX it’s the best tool out there for non-programmers that want to collaborate together and develop their own interactive XR environments —and through simple grab-and-drop creation.
We talked about Harold's unexpected defense contract with Lockheed Martin, Accelerator in China, and his "VR winter" experience.
Extended reality is a catch-all to refer to augmented reality and virtual reality. Sometimes the acronym 'XR' is used in place. The technology is intended to combine or mirror the physical world with a "digital twin world" that is able to interact with each other.
