Mohamed Mohamed
Founder & CEO of Smart Bricks
Leading an applied AI lab building agentic infrastructure to compress real estate acquisition cycles from months into minutes.
Intro
I'm Mohamed Mohamed, the Founder & CEO of Smart Bricks. My career has been defined by a transition from the world of high-stakes finance at Blackstone and Goldman Sachs to leading AI transformation at McKinsey and BCG. Today, I'm focused on building the 'operating system' for the built world, using agentic AI to modernize real estate—an asset class that remains surprisingly manual and inefficient. I'm passionate about how autonomous reasoning systems can reshape capital allocation and global infrastructure. Whether you're an investor, a researcher at the frontier of AI, or a fellow founder, I'm always looking to connect with those who believe in the compounding effect of curiosity and are ready to build the future of the arena.
