In this episode of Weiss Advice, host Yonah Weiss sits down with Gabe Einhorn, a 23-year-old entrepreneur building at the intersection of real estate, technology, and faith.

Gabe shares his journey from capital markets into founding VryfID, a renter-first real estate tech platform designed to securely store and verify sensitive rental documents—solving one of the biggest pain points in competitive rental markets like New York City. With no prior tech background, Gabe breaks down how he assembled a team, learned the space, and turned a real-world problem into a scalable startup.

The conversation also dives deep into Gabe’s faith-based clothing brand Prays, and the viral street interviews that unexpectedly transformed his confidence, personal growth, and connection to God. Gabe explains why he chose to speak openly about faith in professional spaces where it’s often discouraged—and how doing so has opened doors instead of closing them.

Finally, Gabe reflects on entrepreneurship, cold calling, personal discipline, and what success truly means at an early stage of life and business.
