This is a sponsored video by Ophigo

I had a list of five problems the real estate industry is facing and decided to take on one with Ophigo.

In this interview, Joe is talking to Valerio (https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerio-siviero-27a2ab96/), co-founder and CEO of Frankfurt-based proptech startup Ophigo (https://www.ophigo.com/).

We want to be there for the tenant, from start to finish.

The FounderIn the interview, we are talking to Valerio, who is originally from beautiful Milan. After stays in corporate jobs, as well as the COO of another startup – both in London – he decided to set up Ophigo in September 2018 in Frankfurt. Despite his name, Valerio is half German and a very European entrepreneur. He grew up in Milan, studied in Rotterdam and worked in London, before coming to Frankfurt. He is able to speak German with a Bavarian accent.

Ending up with a proptech startup was more a coincidence, than a proper plan. The proper plan always was to eventually found a company

The StartupOphigo was founded only in September of 2018 in Frankfurt. None the less, they are well funded and are hiring. If you are interested in a job there, have a look here https://www.ophigo.com/careers.

Ophigo was set up with the help of Ampolon Ventures (https://ampolon.ventures/), which is the CVC arm of Wiesbaden based Areal Bank. The company focuses on office leasing, with less than 1000 square meters (approx. 10.000 square feet).

The company helps companies to search for spaces and helps the tenant along the whole process, longer than most real estate brokers.

The least amount you need to do is only to tell us your company’s name.
