Entrepreneur magazine
|May 2018

Initially, I made some significant gains, but quite a few of my investment decisions turned out to be complete disasters, so I started seeking out the cracks and gaps in this area. I was surprised to know that a transparent access to information in such a capital intensive industry is skewed in so many ways between agents and builders. That’s where the journey of Roofpik started to become the most trusted platform in real estate.
