## Resource

Amanda Cruise interviews Steve Taylor, who shares how a costly office lease signed just before the COVID-19 lockdowns pushed him to rethink how commercial space is marketed and monetized. After struggling to fill vacant space in London, he developed SoCommercial, a platform designed to let anyone list and monetize any size of commercial real estate, from full buildings to fractional spaces like desks or storage shelves. He explains the challenges of building a two-sided marketplace, emphasizing the difficulty of balancing supply (listers) and demand (lookers) while bootstrapping growth without major funding. Steve also discusses his “free-to-list” model, his belief in removing barriers for smaller landlords, and his long-term vision of creating a more flexible, inclusive commercial real estate ecosystem.
