After over 20 years of experience in property development and investment, I have learned a lot about how deliver property development projects in a profitable and cost-efficient manner. In the last decade, I have focused strongly on sustainable property development and the technologies which enable it. 

My interest in these technologies led to a number of investments in early stage technology companies that provide products and services which create positive social and environmental impact in the property sector. My success with these investments led to a decision to form Hyperlight Ventures and raise my first Venture Capital fund.

From Metaverse based design which enables digitisation of the entire property supply chain to building integrated designer photovoltaic panels and carbon offgsetting, energy positive buildings, technology is starting to disrupt the property sector in ways that we have not previously even imagined.

We are already starting to see homes being 3D printed and wll soon see construction using exoskeletons, robots and drones. With companies like Space-X starting to bring the human race into space, we now need to be thinking about how we construct buildings in space, on the moon or on Mars.

As property supply chains digitise and become more sustainable, so does the finance that supports the property sector. Green digital finance will be an important component of this revolution, as will green energy generation and storage.
