Job description
GetGround is developing the infrastructure for a global digital marketplace for assets enveloped in companies. Trillions of dollars of assets are tied in inefficient illiquid markets - think property, ships, factory machinery & infrastructure to name a few.

Enveloping an asset in a company unlocks liquidity by enabling the right legal basis for asset ownership, governance and exchange. However companies, one of humanity's greatest inventions, are stuck in the past. We are digitising and automating the company, through:

Programmatic incorporation and administration
e-wallet financial infrastructure
Automated accounting incorporating machine learning techniques and
A secondary market platform built for scale

To start, we're tackling UK private residential investment property, with £1.3 trillion of stock and £30-50 billion in transactions a year.

Our mission: To create a fairer and more productive world - by making assets more transparent, trustworthy and accessible.

Hallo Berlin! We’re democratising asset ownership. Historically wealth in society has come from capital growth rather than income, fuelling inequality. By creating a liquid asset marketplace, we think we can change this. Check out our blog.
