In this episode, Founder and Publisher of The Urban Developer Adam Di Marco will speak with Anthony Millet, CEO of the disruptive Australian property platform, BrickX.

So, what exactly is BrickX, I hear you ask?

Well, it is a fractional investment platform that has democratised the property investment platform for all Australians.

By allowing people to invest in a ‘brick’ - that is, one 10,000th of the value of a typical investment property - investors can now enter the highly competitive Australian market for a fraction of the price… in some cases, less than $100.

Founded in 2014, the platform has since grown at a tremendous pace.

Now, it should be worth noting that since we’ve recorded this podcast, BrickX has received an investment from Westpac’s Reinventure Group and was recently awarded the a suite of awards from Canstar, AREA and Fintech business.

We sat down with Anthony in the middle of 2017.

Over the course of 20 minutes, we’ll be talking about:

How Anthony’s personal journey has taken him from turning a struggling family business around in his native UK to the CEO of one of Australia’s hottest startups;

We look at how a intense affordability pressure, a property boom, new technology and the ‘power of the crowd’ created the perfect conditions for Brick to flourish;

And finally, we’ll explore Anthony’s thoughts on what the future of home ownership is in Australia and how BrickX will likely play out in the future.
