This site consists of blog posts, tweets, links and general notes from my journey to increase the use of technology in one of the largest industries; the property industry.

Created by Magnus Svantegård.

First of all

I proudly work for Stronghold Invest AB, an investment firm in "property knowledge companies" (including #PropTech).

However, this site contains my personal opinions posted on my own time and do not represent the views of my employer in any way, shape, or form.

How it started

I first encountered Internet, using Mosaic (the very first web browser) in the autumn of 1994 at the Royal Institute of Technology (Master in Civil Engineering). It was NOT love at first sight. However, two years later (in parallel with my studies) I got involved in a start-up and it changed how I looked at the real estate industry. The rest is history.

The why

The ambition is to be an inspiration for businesses in the real estate market by highlighting great examples of "the smart use of Internet in property". Mainly from a Swedish perspective, but will also add international examples. Especially since I started this site, Datscha has launched its services in Finland (2010) and England (2015) .

Furthermore, the focus is mostly on the commercial property industry, even though there will be examples from the residential market.  

FOLLOW MY THOUGHTS

Since a few years I'm more active on Twitter and Linkedin than writing blog posts. (which I did for 13 years!)

PropTech chat?

I'm always up for a #PropTech chat; online or IRL (based in Stockholm, Sweden). Just drop me a line.
