Spotlight on VroomBrick: Hampton Roads’ Startup on the Rise
We’re particularly excited about VroomBrick, a Hampton Roads-based startup that’s disrupting the real estate market with its innovative platform. VroomBrick empowers buyers and sellers to navigate property transactions confidently—without the traditional real estate agent model. The company, co-founded by Leland Remias and Adam Becerra, is proving that technology can simplify, streamline, and democratize homeownership.
As a REaKTOR portfolio company and Start Peninsula alumnus, VroomBrick’s journey exemplifies the power of Hampton Roads’ entrepreneurial ecosystem. Their selection into Lighthouse Labs is a testament to what happens when local founders, incubators, and accelerators work together to fuel innovation.
