Alongside tech investor Thomas Teichman, Hegarty launched The Garage Soho in November 2014 to hot-house start-ups at seed stage. Settled is aiming to disrupt the UK property buying and selling process by empowering homeowners to not use what it calls a "middleman", akin to the likes of so-called disruptors Airbnb and Nutmeg. It aims to enable homeowners to control their own home sale with expert support to help from valuation stage through to completion.
