Mike Bristow, CEO and Co-Founder of Birmingham-based CrowdProperty, will be talking about the dawn of technology-enabled ‘alternative’ finance, which the UK leads the world in and is not so ‘alternative’ any more. ‘Fintech’ is breaking new boundaries and making financial services far more efficient and therefore more rewarding for customers – in CrowdProperty’s case for SME residential property developers and everyday investors.
In his presentation, Mike will cover:
- What Alternative Finance is and why it’s the future of finance
- Why it benefits everyone (except the banks)
- How CrowdProperty is harnessing technology to disrupt the property finance sector
- The impact CrowdProperty is making on housebuilding and spend in the UK economy
