Try These AI Prompts to Accelerate Your Investment Due Diligence
Lately, I’ve been working to come up to speed on the use of Generative AI. It is so much fun! Last week, I asked ChatGPT how to fix my car, and among other options, it suggested a free and simple hack to defeat the problem rather than fix it. It took ten minutes and saved me hundreds of dollars.
I’ve also learned to create my own GPTs! Who’d have guessed I could do something like that?! It reminded me a bit of learning to code in Basic back in the early 80s.
Then, I created a rudimentary football game, where a bunch of dots chased my dot around the screen. This week, I created a GPT that allows you to learn more about The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, including upcoming events and speaker profiles. Click here to try it.
Here’s the real value I’m working to create. In recent months, I’ve come to appreciate a big challenge with crowdfund investing. Good due diligence research on investments leads to much better returns. Put another way, poor diligence leads to poor returns.

AI Episode Summary
Here's a summary of the key points from the transcript:
1. Mark Winkelmann is an architect who has developed a project called the Pajama Factory in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
2. The Pajama Factory is a complex of eight industrial buildings that have been repurposed to house artists and small businesses with spaces for creative work and living.
3. The buildings began as a rubber company in 1883, eventually housing the production of Keds sneakers and later pajamas before they were converted into the current creative space.
4. The Pajama Factory includes a variety of spaces, such as Airbnb units, apartments, artistic spaces, light manufacturing, a community woodshop, a clay studio, a coffee roaster, and retail spaces.
5. Mark moved to Williamsport specifically for the Pajama Factory project after many years as an architect in New York City and the desire to take on significant projects.
6. The project is currently raising capital on Small Change, a crowdfunding site for social impact real estate projects. The funds will be used for maintenance, HVAC systems, parking lots, and roof repairs.
7. The Pajama Factory has become an important part of the local community, attracting and retaining residents and supporting the growth of businesses.
8. There is a waiting list for spaces at the Pajama Factory due to its popularity, with a turnover of around 10% per year.
9. Future plans for the Pajama Factory include the creation of more studio spaces and additional apartments, ranging from affordable units for artists to high-end lofts.
10. Mark's superpower lies in the combination of his architectural skills, his experience with historic buildings, his love for interacting with people, and his appreciation for craftsmanship, all of which contribute to the success of the Pajama Factory project.
