Our Purpose


 


Our journey began in 2015 with a clear vision: make real-estate accessible, efficient, liquid and instantly available to everyone. We have made a good start - we are profitable and have been since our first year, we are privately funded which means we have control over our decisions and vision and since launching we have moved a real-estate volume of over half a billion CHF placed through our platforms. Big numbers indeed but with a transactional market volume in Switzerland of 30 - 40 Billion CHF annually there is a huge market for us to still tap into. We will do this with innovative and disruptive solutions developed with your help.

  • Node.js for our microservices
