Overview
LEX is a real estate investing platform giving the everyday person access to direct investments in commercial real estate for the first time. Users can browse individual properties (ranging from Office space to Retail centers to Multifamily), buy $250 shares (the IPO price) in each building, earn their share of rental income, and then trade those shares on LEX. We're playing within the existing regulations and financial rails, but we have a lot to build! We're a growing company (currently <25 people, 7 engineers) with some great backers working to unlock real estate for the masses.
