• PT Blink, which aims to disrupt the $356 billion Australian construction industry, has launched an equity crowdfunding campaign.

• The $2 million raise is via OnMarket, the Australian equity crowdfunding platform.

“I am excited to use equity crowdfunding to fuel the growth of PT Blink Limited and to also share the opportunity with investors throughout Australia to participate in a business which provides a dramatically different method for the construction of multi-level buildings,” he said.
