Open Co are hosting a panel debate featuring CEOs from start-ups Locatable, Spacious and WeArePopup. The panel will be chaired by Juliette Morgan of Cushman Wakefield.

Details of the event can be found here:

It is curious that the three companies have cleverly merged their logos for the event. Could this be a sign of things to come?

I certainly hope so.

Property Tech start-ups in London are unambitious and generally unsuccessful.

However they are run by passionate and capable people. Together, they stand a real chance of innovating and truly creating a rising tide.

Simply put, Dad is expert advice without needing a call out (just a call in…).

Founded by the exceptionally stylish, authoritative and generous (he paid for lunch) Ben Wynn, Dad was launched on the premise that fixing things around the home is a massive market with plenty of fear and friction.

I’m about to invest in a property tech company.

Before making this decision, I thought carefully about who else I would want to invest in.

Those companies are detailed below. I thought it important to include how much I would invest, and why.

I just can’t get over how simple, yet life-change-ing-ly useful the Splittable app is. It basically is how all accounting of money should be everywhere. Simple and plain to understand.

In this exclusive interview, we tease out Ed’s thoughts on London, his business and what Lokku is looking to invest in for our Geo-filled future.

It’s probably apt to say that Ed is a hero of mine. While others try to compete and build property portals, Lokku stayed true to their calling with Nestoria and provided a reliable partner to property portals the world over.

Thanks to companies like Seedrs, Equity Crowdsourcing for investments is proving safe and easy to take part in.

And what better place to invest than rental property. Everybody wants to be a landlord. The easy money is just too tempting.

Everyone and their Mother would like to launch a ‘better’ property portal. Many are trying. Even more have failed. None, bar Zoopla, have succeeded in competing with the might of Rightmove.

Yet, FindProperly has caught the imagination of Londoners.
