Reall - Expert Impact

Ian Shapiro,

Reall

Met with Julia Groves

We are an innovator and investor in climate-smart affordable homes.

We develop, refine and share innovative housing models that unlock the political will, capital investment and end-user finance needed to create the conditions for hard-working families to secure their own homes.

We do this because affordable homes not only provide a fundamental human right, they unleash unimaginable human potential to shape a future of gender parity, climate resilience, clean air, renewable energy and socio-economic justice.

Julia was a fantastic resource. Swiftly gripped the proposition of my social business and dug into the key challenges. Julia helped crystallise a key challenge and reframe the language from an investors perspective. Excellent!
