- Brickfy — PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY Interest rates are still really low meaning savings rates are below inflation. At the same time, more and more people have become comfortable with managing their finances online. These two factors have led to the rise of Alternative Financing and the appearance of a large number of P2P lending platforms. But this boom, inturn, has brought about a very fragmented market, generally with platforms of a local nature, with few products and very different admission requirements for each one, that on occasion prevent investments from foreign investors. All this makes it very difficult for investors and time consuming, not only to distinguish and value the best opportunities but also to access those, which prevents them from optimizing and diversifying their portfolios. Additionally, all of this must be added to the lack of liquidity that most of these alternative investments have and that makes investors reluctant to these investments due to the absence of a secondary market to provide them liquidity. Also the platforms have difficulties with internationalization due to language barriers, the type of currency, and the different regulations, and additionally, it takes a lot of time, effort, and money in distribution and communication to explain their products, as well as in marketing to obtain quality investors, and also promoters looking for funding, on their websites.SOLUTION/PRODUCT The solution is a marketplace for P2P lending investment. A platform of platforms that thanks to deep integration with each of the platforms, allows investors the convenience of investing from a single web and manage their portfolio in a centralized but diversified way. Brickfy's mission is to make investing in P2P as simple, secure and efficient as possible. Our service reduces risk through diversification, enables returns and provides easy access to the market In this way Brickfy helps, on one side, the platforms and loan originators to have greater exposure and dissemination of their opportunities, becoming an international sales channel, acting as a reseller of their loans. On the other side, Brickfy helps investors first to select and invest in the best platforms and investment opportunities by providing them with information, ratings, and reviews. And second we offer them a dashboard to manage their portfolio from a single website. In the midterm, will also offer investors liquidity by easily reselling their assets in our secondary market and the possibility of automating their portfolios by means of the auto-investment option.
