Welcome to Crossing Borders with Nathan Lustig, where I interview entrepreneurs doing startups across borders and the investors who support them, with a focus on companies that have some relationship to Latin America.
My guest for episode 2 is my friend Adrian Fisher, CEO and Founder of PropertySimple, a real estate technology company with offices in Santiago, Chile, and the United States. I’ve known Adrian for about five years now and PropertySimple was our first investment at Magma Partners back in 2014.
Adrian and I cover his journey from Scottsdale, Arizona to Argentina, Chile and then back to the United States, during which he learned to program, and built technology for some of the biggest companies in the world with a 30 person outsourcing team based in Mendoza, Argentina and transitioned from a services company into a product company.
In 2011, Adrian was part of Startup Chile’s first round, where he and his team built multiple real estate technology businesses including a rental payments system, a mortgage originator, and more.
We’ll also talk about Adrian’s experience launching a product in Latin America and then transitioning to the US market and the strategies he has used for building a successful technology business from Latin America that targets the US market.
PropertySimple just closed a financing round of $3M from US investors and is growing its team in Chile and the US while scaling sales in the United States. I really enjoyed this conversation, so let’s jump right in!
