Colin James Belyea
Founder of Building PropTech
I actually had a pretty negative personal experience when buying my first flat and to rent out, so I was kind of dropped directly into the problems that Inviertis seeks to solve.
We've making investing directly in real estate easier. We provide investors with a marketplace of tenanted properties that provide positive cashflows from day one, along with a monitoring tool for the whole investor's portfolio.
Inviertis is self-funded and bootstrapped!
We are focused on acquiring properties for the marketplace and brand awareness right now. Revenue is not that important for us yet.
We've focused on content marketing. We offer our customers information and insights so that they find our platform is more than just a place to sell their property.
Probably getting to know such a complex sector, that is why is important to build a company in something you already know well, you avoid the learning curve.
Besides, it is hard to build the team to accept the challenge and find the correct partners.
That I was more comfortable with innovation than our client base was. We've discovered that both the professionals and user must be ready simultaneously to adopt new technology. A great technological deployment means nothing if your customers don't know how to use it.
I found that the relations in real estate among big companies were very complex, and requires deep understanding to navigate.
