Biography

Dave Garland is a Managing Partner of Second Century Ventures, the strategic investment arm and wholly owned subsidiary of the National Association of REALTORS. The SEC Form D filed for Second Century Ventures Fund I, LP on 31 July 2024 names him as a Managing Director of the fund's general partner, Second Century Ventures GP I, LLC, alongside Mark Birschbach and Tyler Thompson. He is the SCV executive most often quoted in the firm's programme announcements, including the 2026 REACH Canada cohort, the launch of REACH Middle East in Dubai on 12 February 2026, the opening of 2026 REACH Commercial applications, the 2026 REACH scale-up cohort and the June 2026 partnership with the Confederacion Inmobiliaria Latinoamericana.
