In an exclusive interview, Yann Murciano, CEO of BLEND Network, explores how technology and alternative lending are reshaping property finance, creating a faster, more flexible and increasingly diverse funding landscape for developers and investors.
From connecting borrowers with multiple sources of capital to navigating higher interest rates, inflation and reduced market liquidity, Yann discusses what investors should be paying attention to in today’s environment. He highlights the importance of distinguishing genuine value from simple price reductions, while explaining why patience, liquidity and a clearly defined exit strategy remain critical when evaluating opportunities.
Looking ahead, Yann shares his perspective on the growing role of specialist lenders as traditional banks become increasingly selective, and why speed, direct communication and access to decision-makers are becoming key advantages. Drawing on his experience building a fintech business, he also reflects on entrepreneurship, innovation and why solving genuine market problems, while maintaining trust and integrity - is fundamental to building a business for the long term.
