We're a VC backed, disruptive technology business with a purpose to make the world fairer and more productive. We are doing this by making assets more transparent, trustworthy and accessible - starting with real estate. Incomes have stagnated and we believe by creating greater access to high value assets like real estate we believe we can be part of solving some of the wealth inequality. Our investment platform is focussed on one of the largest asset classes in the world - property. We are gaining significant momentum with our portfolio of products focused on the UK property investment market.
