Alongside\u00a0co-creator Tim Fung, Jonathan Lui has watched his Airtasker app take off. Now he\u2019s back at work \u2013 this time focusing on the property market with the app Soho.<\/p>\n

AT A GLANCE
\nPurchase of first property:<\/strong>\u00a02009
\nFavourite investment<\/strong>: His startups, Airtasker and Soho
\nMiles<\/a>tone:<\/strong>\u00a0Airtasker has processed $90m in task transactions<\/p>\n

Lui is a property investor himself, having purchased his first piece of real estate in Barangaroo in 2009 after seeing potential in the area. This investment has paid off, and it prompted Lui to look closer at the property industry.<\/p>\n

\u201c[We] want to evolve the property industry into an always-online industry. Our goal is to bring more liquidity to the property industry and help buyers and renters get into the perfect home they\u2019re looking for,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Throughout all of his growth and success, Lui hasn\u2019t forgotten that the support of his family has been crucial to his rise. In fact, family is so important that Lui has moved back to Singapore to be closer to his loved ones \u2013 and also to expand his property portfolio internationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m now living in Singapore to focus more on family well-being,\u201d Lui says. \u201cWe\u2019re still able to keep things in perspective and really enjoy the journey, not just the financial outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Lui In October 2017, Lui\u2019s successful Australian startup, Airtasker, raised $33m in investment for international expansion into the UK<\/p>\n
