Message from the founder

I run my organization like a reverse triangle. Where most people look at an organization where you’re top-down, meaning the person is dictating down what’s going on. In my organizations, it’s bottom-up. They tell me where they need me to go. I listen to that and I give direction. Just like a captain on a ship, but I want to hear from them. If you run it that way, they actually have autonomy and they become the leaders themselves.

Founder of Taylor Street

We have led as anchor investors in early-stage companies in venture capital, private equity as well as Co-GP in real estate ventures directly or through our investment vehicles (SPVs).

In our private equity and venture investments, our strategy is to invest in sponsors and companies that are best in class that not only provide risk adjusted returns, but an enhancement to the firm’s ecosystem with synergistic products and collaborative relationships.

SANDRA ULLOA

I’m Sandra Ulloa, and I’ve had the privilege of working in real estate and property management for the past 20 years. Over the last years, I’ve focused primarily on consultancy and real estate investment management, and I’m passionate about delivering strong financial results, implementing cost-saving strategies, and streamlining operations to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients, from start-ups to large-scale property management companies. One of my proudest accomplishments was managing a 550-unit multi-family privatized government housing community at Luke Air Force Base, where I helped lead my team to earn the 2015 Privatized Housing Management Award. I was also honored to receive 10 personal awards for outstanding customer satisfaction, which really meant a lot to me.

I take great pride in leading and mentoring teams, and I’ve been fortunate to work with talented individuals who share the same drive to succeed. I’ve been responsible for everything from day-to-day operations to training and supporting my staff. I love seeing my team grow and succeed together.

On top of that, I’ve built a strong foundation in customer service, sales, marketing, event planning, budgeting, and admin duties. I’m also pretty good at juggling multiple tasks at once (it’s kind of my thing!) and thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure situations. I’m comfortable working with tools like Microsoft Office, Google Suite, Yardi, and AppFolio, which helps keep things running smoothly.

Bilingual in Spanish and English, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to connect with people from different backgrounds, and I truly value the relationships I build with everyone I work with.

Ultimately, I’m a problem-solver, communicator, and leader who is dedicated to delivering results and supporting my team every step of the way.
