Fintech for the Construction Industry
Brighte provides an interest-free platform for home energy installations and home improvements. If you’ve wanted to install a new air conditioner or solar panels but haven’t had the money to get these products for your home outright, you can consider Brighte. Think of them like Afterpay for building & construction.
Their initial focus is “buy-now-pay-later” for residential solar panels and household batteries. They have amazing backing (from the likes of NAB and Atlassian’s Mike Cannon-Brookes) and a huge war-chest of money available to loan out.
