The result of this observation is the firm decision to develop its own online marketplace to offer real estate projects as an investment opportunity and to provide capital directly between private investors and real estate companies.Simon Brunke, Björn Maronde, Tim Bütecke and Julian Oertzen founded the online platform in 2014, they are constantly evolving and they are board members of Exporo AG.
