Episode notes

In this episode, Dave and Dharm welcome back Ziad Nassar, Deputy CEO of Huspy, one year after his first appearance on the show. And what a difference a year makes. Ziad shares how Huspy has evolved from a UAE-based mortgage innovator into one of the fastest-scaling proptechs in EMEA, now active across the UAE and Spain with expansion under way in Saudi Arabia. Backed by a US $59 million Series B round led by Balderton Capital, Huspy is pursuing an ambitious mission: empowering the people who serve homebuyers and sellers. The conversation explores: Why Huspy focuses on enabling agents and mortgage brokers - the professionals closest to homebuyers and sellers - through technology, training, and fairer rewards. The logic behind expanding to Spain, and the company’s disciplined playbook for entering new markets. How AI is transforming property discovery and agent productivity - from natural-language search (“find me a Georgian-style home near London with a vet nearby”) to smart tools that augment rather than replace human expertise. The importance of focus and discipline in scaling a startup, and the lessons Huspy has learned from trial, error, and relentless iteration.
