DISRUPTIVE OFFERING PROVIDES MASSIVE POTENTIAL UPSIDE AS “PROPTECH” GROWS UNDER COVID-19
The last couple of years have seen the emergence of proptech, which is applying information technology and platform economics to streamline and modernize the cumbersome process of browsing, building, and transacting in real estate.
In 2019 alone, upwards of $16 billion USD in venture capital flowed into proptech startups (according to data from Crunchbase and Pitchbook), clearly demonstrating that VC’s “are turning to proptech for returns and disruption on a global scale”.
The advent of COVD-19 has only further accelerated the need for proptech applications from Hedge Funds, Pension Funds and owners who have seen significant disruption in their investments and look to new revenue models and opportunities.
