The way I got into entrepreneurship goes hand in hand. Reach injured victims account of 2013. I do college like a lot of people do, you know, coming from overseas, and you know I always thought I’m going to be a banker or an investment or a hedge fund manager, and little did I know that you know not only was it not asking about this very traditional wrote that. That’s what makes them happy, thanks to bill secure, but I also realize that you know I was passionate about destruction.

Me and my co-founder I of that time with my actual college buddy, I decided to explore opportunities in real estate. Both of us that real estate is the largest across the world there’s several $0 worths of assets in real estate globally be every year. You seem so right for destruction or disruption or was told to call it G. there was no place for people to transact other than the traditional way, which is meeting in person she.

We go-kart track, and we felt like there could be. Yeah, it’s slightly better, so he and I have locked ourselves in this Ikea. I think it was like your restaurant, the holy serve meals in the morning and so I think both of us kind of rather a lot. You know we’ve met there and been sitting doing research what can we do on time.

You know are people that are looking for coworking spaces. You know we saw how amazing we work doing all kinds of things that were coming out of, you know just the shared office space in the hotel then all the sudden you trends we felt like we could build a market place for people to discover this new way of working adult.

Do you have some skills to charge around 350 pursuits in Canada for real estate photography?

Then we did a pilot, and now we are provided services for others.
