Our Team
TED HARRIS
In 2018, Ted established NegotiaTED with a bold vision rooted in his extensive background in commercial real estate and finance. Drawing upon over three decades of expertise in these fields, Ted envisioned a consultancy firm that would stand out for its client-centric ethos. His track record of success in guiding clients towards their objectives further solidifies Ted's standing as a trusted expert in the industry.
Ted's journey in entrepreneurship took flight in 2010 with the creation of FruitRevival, a venture born out of his personal quest for a quality apple snack during his Downtown Denver workdays. This early foray into startups showcased Ted's commitment to solving real-world problems.
Recognizing the burgeoning potential of the cannabis industry, Ted co-founded Sweet Leaf Capital in 2016. The company, under Ted's leadership, secured over $200 million in commitments, positioning Sweet Leaf as a key player in equipment financing and real estate lending for cannabis businesses nationwide.
In 2023, Ted embarked on yet another entrepreneurial venture, co-founding Clarity Legal Funding. A Presettlement Legal Finance company. The company's remarkable growth can be attributed to a robust team of partners and investors.
Looking forward to 2024, Ted is brimming with excitement about the launch of "Bridging Homes and Hearts" alongside his business partner, Mike Glade. At NegotiaTED, they anticipate that this program will be transformative within the real estate industry. Ted expresses genuine enthusiasm for witnessing the program embodying the principle of "Service above Self," a core value at the heart of NegotiaTED.
Ted's success in commercial real estate and specialized finance is attributed to his consultative approach, encapsulated by the motto "Service above Self." This client-focused and solutions-oriented perspective is seamlessly woven into the fabric of NegotiaTED, ensuring the continuation of Ted's legacy of achievement in the industry.
