Want proof that sector insiders can become sector changemakers? Meet Brett Ray. He began his PropTech journey with nothing more than a torch, a clipboard, and a front‑row view of a system that wasn’t working. Fast forward to 2026 and he’s building the fix as part of our award-winning Accelerator Programme. Coming from a hands‑on background in building surveys, inspections and property condition reporting, Brett knows exactly how stressful, fragmented and unpredictable the early stages of buying or selling a home can be. That first‑hand experience is what shaped Survey Shack: a solution designed to bring clarity, consistency and confidence to condition assessments right at the start of the sale process. What makes Brett stand out as a founder: ✅ Real‑world insight from years on the ground conducting property inspections. ✅ A practical, problem‑first approach to digitising a manual and inconsistent part of the buying journey. ✅ A collaborative mindset shared with co‑founder Evelina Ray, that’s already resonating with agents, surveyors and wider property professionals. If you want to meet founders like Brett and Evelina who are building solutions using location, land and property insights, make sure you join us at the Showcase. 🎤 See Brett pitch at the Geovation Spring 2026 Showcase 📅 Wednesday 25 March 16:00–19:00 📍 Geovation Hub, Sutton Yard, EC1V 7EN 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eBWMJYct The Geovation Accelerator Programme is an Ordnance Survey initiative, in association with HM Land Registry.   COHORT 21: James Lewis of Liberty Bell Ethical Enfranchisement, Alexandra Simmons, Jasper Kaucky of Oko Ag, Luke Chittock of Linckia, Nathan Watt and Barclay Gauld of TransHumanity, Michael Kalam MCIOB FIPWS of UK Planning Gateway.
