People Property Place #106 Guy Horne, Co-Founder & CEO of HSPG
Guy co-founded HSPG in 2015 to provide high-quality accommodation for vulnerable people. As CEO, he leads fundraising and acquisitions, overseeing over £500m in investments in UK affordable housing.
With a background as a Sales Analyst at RBS and launching Europe’s first digital property crowdfunding platform, Guy is a passionate entrepreneur focused on ventures with social impact.
He holds a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Nottingham and has studied Real Estate Finance at MIT and completed an Executive MBA at Harvard Business School.
I sat down with Guy to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
- Breaking into real estate and scaling HSPG into an institutional-grade investment platform.
- Hiring, retaining, and developing top talent.
- Tackling affordable housing and homelessness through initiatives like Homeless Affordable Rent and Project Westminster, delivering 2,000 units in London.
- Partnering with institutional capital to create inflation-linked, long-term cashflows while delivering social impact.
- Lessons from scaling, "failing forward," and navigating challenges.
- Personal growth through music, yoga, and breathwork.
Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Guy would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
