Harrison Riley

Founder

Harrison Riley is a real estate investor and the Founder of Glass Beach Ventures (GBV). His real estate journey kicked off in 2018, when he built a portfolio of 15+ small multifamily properties in Pittsburgh, PA. By 2021, he shifted gears, raising investor capital to target larger apartment buildings and grow GBV into a syndication-focused business.

GBV targets sub-institutional multifamily properties, primarily around the Cleveland, OH MSA. Harrison’s strategy is all about adding value—turning these properties into steady, tax-efficient investments that deliver solid returns for investors over the long-term. It’s a focused approach built to last.

Before diving into real estate, Harrison spent 10 years at Okta, where he helped shape go-to-market operations and led tech teams. He also spent time at Accenture, consulting for major global companies in strategy and operations.

A Gonzaga University grad, Harrison lives in Alameda, CA, with his wife and two kids. They’re big Gonzaga Bulldogs fans (Go Zags!) and are passionate about building wealth through real estate while making a positive impact in their community.
