History

Bricksave was founded in April 2016 by Tom de Lucy and Sofia Gancedo. They began working on the project in 2015 and launched the company with backing from investment group Kinled Holding limited. The company was started with the idea to create a new retail market of real estate investors, breaking down the traditional barriers to entry and allowing them to create an internationally diversified real estate portfolio.

Within 12 months of launching the investment platform, the company had facilitated investments into over US$2 million of international real estate and had returned higher than forecast rental yields to their first crowdfunders. In 2017, Bricksave partnered with Lemonway for anti-money laundering and KYC to counter the frauds during investment.
