Creating New Tech Leadership

Real estate investing has high capital requirements, knowledge barriers and complex tax issues that make it painful for accredited investors and inaccessible to the 100M US retail investors. Even if you are able to invest in real estate, you are left with an asset that is costly to maintain and difficult to sell.

We launched OwnProp to open up real estate investing to everyone and provide liquidity to homeowners and current investors. OwnProp is starting with properties available to accredited investors, and plans to open up to retail investors within 18 - 24 months.

Property data is typically stored across hundreds of fragmented sources, typically lacking integrity, which makes it difficult to get a holistic view of a property’s performance or to make an informed decision on the property’s value. Over 500,000 property managers and 7 million real estate investors experience this problem in the US alone.

We launched PropData to enable real estate investors, operators, and asset managers to make better and faster decisions by providing them with a source of truth for all of their property data along with business intelligence that highlights information that matters most.

Most businesses that use independent contractors have 30-90 day payment terms. This creates working capital problems for contractors and their workforce since they often have to pay for labor and materials prior to receiving payment from customers. As a result, contractors are priced out of jobs or unable to grow their business. In addition, businesses are limited to only work with contractors large enough to float the capital.

We launched PayUp to provide businesses with a larger pool of contractors and to empower contractors to scale their operation.

40% of contractors have no insurance and 70% are underinsured. Obtaining insurance is an expensive and complex process that creates barriers to getting work for independent contractors. Even if they can afford insurance, the plans are often long-term and one-size fits all, resulting in much higher costs than necessary for most jobs.

We launched InsurePro to make insurance accessible to everyone and to allow independent contractors to buy the exact insurance they need, when they need it. InsurePro is starting with maintenance contractors with plans to expand to adjacent industries as it grows.
