My guest in this episode is the irrepressible Peter Schravemade, the head of Australia’s premier proptech accelerator, the REACH Australia program, director of the Proptech Association Australia and someone I am very proud to call a dear friend. 

Pete took up the mantle of the Reach program this year after many years at BoxBrownie, one of the posterboys for scaling Australian proptech where he grew the business into 129 countries through his seemingly constant attendance at industry events around the world and well earned reputation for being great company and quick to shout a beer. 

Now a warning – Pete and I can talk under wet concrete and we do in this episode - as Pete talks through the 2023 Reach Cohort and we go down a few rabbitholes. It’s slightly longer than normal, but worth the listen as we cover a veritable whose who of exciting proptechs well worth watching.
