Patrick Donley talks with Jerry Chu about how his company is democratizing real estate investing through fractionalized ownership using the blockchain, why real estate investing is inaccessible to most people and how Lofty solves these problems, how tokenized real estate is different from owning a REIT, and what the advantages of a seller using the Lofty marketplace are, and much more!

Jerry is the founder and CEO at Lofty. Prior to founding Lofty in 2018, Jerry worked as a quantitative risk management analyst at Barclays in the treasury risk department. He received a B.S. in Mathematics/Economics from the University of Southern California and a M.S. in Financial Engineering from Claremont Graduate University.
