In this episode, we are joined by Steve Bolton, the former Founder of Platinum Property Partners. We take a deep dive into Steve's fascinating journey, from his beginnings as a property enthusiast to his current role in the tech industry. During his tenure at PPP spanning a decade, Steve brought significant innovation to the HMO investment realm. He oversaw a portfolio of over £400 million and 7,000 rental rooms. Despite facing challenges, including an unsuccessful attempt to challenge Section 24 in the High Court, Steve recognised the importance of diversification and embarked on a noteworthy transformation. After departing from PPP in 2017, Steve shifted his focus to high-growth, early-stage businesses in the tech and e-commerce sectors that qualify for EIS. His involvement with Bolt Angels and other ventures within the Bolt portfolio yielded impressive results. One of his recent investments saw an extraordinary return of 42 times the initial investment amount after adjustments, equivalent to turning £100,000 into a remarkable £4.2 million. Steve's ability to navigate and succeed in various industries underscores his entrepreneurial skill and foresight. There is plenty to learn from his journey in and through property exiting into a different industry.
