Matthew Ohlman is a software engineer turned startup operator turned investor at Shadow Ventures, where he handles technical due diligence, teaches non-technical investors how to evaluate CTOs and dev teams, and focuses on how construction and real estate startups can work with major platforms like Autodesk and Procore. His background spans building computer vision tools for farm co-ops to detect crop disease and backing AI-driven bridge inspection technology, and he tends to be skeptical of flashy AI features, instead looking for real defensibility and products that remove everyday friction for ordinary real estate teams.
