Profitable Proptech Is Now Managing Over 20,000 Residential Properties Across 23 States, Advancing Rapidly Towards Nationwide Coverage

LOS GATOS, Calif., Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — PURE Property Management, the fastest growing residential property management and technology company in the U.S., announced today that it completed 50 acquisitions since its launch in October 2020 with 20 transactions occurring in the first half of 2022.

“The real story here isn’t about the number of acquisitions, but rather the quality and experience of the people joining us,” said PURE Co-founder and General Partner Michael Catalano. “Experienced owners, while technically selling to PURE, are staying on and joining in our mission to band together and build together innovative product and service offerings at scale.”

With the industry’s only true seller-aligned model, property management entrepreneurs can have both an investment in PURE’s future and, because the company is growing rapidly on a national level, they can also enjoy new opportunities for professional growth. Owners who choose to exit at sale can do so knowing that their clients are in good hands and their employees have more career growth opportunities and employment benefits than they could provide them as an independent operator.

As a result, PURE is rapidly acquiring independent property management companies with experienced leaders and management professionals to assemble a team that now counts over 2,000 years of combined property management experience across the company.

“People are our secret sauce. We aim to have the most talented and experienced property managers in the industry join us while we tech-enable their operations for efficiency and growth,” said Joseph Polverari, PURE’s co-founder and general partner. “Collectively, and aided by our technology investments, we’re focused on eliminating the friction and complexities of renting a home for not just our clients and residents, but for the property managers as well.”

Frustrated by the cumbersome and complex process of managing and renting homes within the highly fragmented residential rental market, industry insider Michael Catalano and fintech pioneer Joseph Polverari co-founded PURE Property Management with the vision of making renting a home a simple and satisfying experience for all, and at a scale never seen before.

By empowering its people with proprietary PURE Playbooks, processes, and technology, PURE has rapidly emerged to be an industry leader by delivering consistent, high-tech, high-touch, and hyperlocal property management services in over 300 cities and markets across 23 states. The company is profitable, and acquisitions of independent property management companies nationally are fueled by a recent $50 million financing at a $300 million valuation.

“I’d say over two-thirds of the owners that have joined PURE were not actively looking to sell their business, but were instead intrigued by what we are doing and what their company may be worth,” observes Jock McNeill, vice president of partner relations. “Once they see our strategy and talk to their peers that have joined PURE, they realize that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It never hurts to have a conversation about the future.” McNeill’s company was the first to be acquired by PURE.

By

GUANGZHOU, China, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From April 15-19, 2026, at the 139th Canton Fair, clean energy innovator BLUETTI presented an integrated Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) solution that combines digital distribution tools with off-grid energy products, as the company expands its presence in emerging markets, particularly across Africa.

The solution brings together BLUETTI’s proprietary BLUETTI GO platform and a range of PAYGO-enabled solar home systems, reflecting a broader shift in the industry from standalone hardware sales to more structured distribution and financing models.

PAYGO has gained traction in regions where upfront costs remain a key barrier to energy access. By enabling installment-based payments and remote device management, the model allows consumers to access electricity services with lower initial investment, while offering distributors greater visibility into repayment and asset performance.

BLUETTI GO serves as a centralized platform for distributors, integrating sales tracking, inventory control, credit profiling, payment overdue tracking, risk monitoring, and operational analysis. These features are designed to help partners operate more efficiently and support long-term business planning in PAYGO-driven markets.

The company’s product lineup includes entry-level solar home systems such as the P80(battery capacity 76.8Wh), to African Star (battery capacity 1728Wh), designed for basic electricity needs, as well as the higher-capacity Home Star (battery capacity 2kWh-5kWh) series for off-grid household energy storage. These systems can be deployed independently or bundled with appliances such as televisions, fans, and lighting equipment.

As demand for decentralized energy solutions grows across Africa, supported by both public and private investment in renewable infrastructure, PAYGO models are playing a larger role in bridging the gap between energy access and affordability. 

Driven by product breakthroughs and innovative business practices, BLUETTI has been enlarging its footprint in the region in recent years. The company operates across more than 40 African countries, supported by local teams and pilot programs, including a Nigerian initiative launched in 2020 that has expanded into a network of branded retail outlets.

About BLUETTI

Founded in 2013, BLUETTI is a leading global provider of energy storage solutions, specializing in home solar batteries, portable power stations, and solar generators. Through initiatives like the LAAF (Lighting Africa Affordable Financing program), BLUETTI aims to power 1 million African families in off-grid areas. Today, it serves over 3.5 million users in 140+ countries and regions. Learn more: https://bluetti.com/

The first AI-powered API Skills that turn trading ideas into execution — no coding required

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and SINGAPORE, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moomoo today announced the launch of Moomoo API Skills, its AI-powered capability that enables investors to execute sophisticated trading strategies using natural language — marking a major leap in making institutional-grade tools accessible to all.

This breakthrough positions Moomoo at the forefront of a new era of investing, where anyone with an idea can turn it into action — without writing a single line of code.

A First-of-Its-Kind Breakthrough in Investor Accessibility

For years, advanced trading capabilities such as algorithmic strategies, real-time automation, and multi-market data access have long been limited to professional traders.

Moomoo API Skills removes this barrier.

Investors can now describe their strategy in plain language, from technical signals to execution conditions, and have it translated into live or simulated trades instantly.

“This is the first time Wall Street-level trading capability is made truly accessible through everyday language,” said Robin Xu, Group Senior Partner & Senior Vice President, Futu Holdings. “We are not just simplifying trading tools — we are redefining who gets to use them.”

From Tools to Trading Assistants

Moomoo API Skills introduces a new paradigm of agentic investing, where AI acts as an execution partner rather than a passive tool.

Instead of navigating complex systems, investors can:

Describe their strategyLet AI translate it into execution logicMonitor and respond to markets in real time

This effectively creates an always on trading assistant, enabling faster and more structured decision making.

Institutional Capabilities Made Accessible

Built on Moomoo’s Open API ecosystem, the capability provides:

Zero code strategy executionGlobal market access across US, Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, and moreReal time monitoring and automated triggers

At the same time, Moomoo maintains strong control and security through its local-first architecture powered by Moomoo OpenD, where:

Data remains on the user’s local environmentExecution requires user confirmationExposure to third party risks is reduced

Closing the Execution Gap

Today’s investors are not short of information, but often face challenges in executing consistently and efficiently. Moomoo API Skills is designed to close this gap by simplifying how strategies are expressed and carried through. It also strengthens Moomoo’s ecosystem, including Moo Academy, MooveNetwork and the Option Playbook, enabling a seamless journey from learning to execution.

“The challenge today is no longer access to information, but the ability to act on it effectively,” said Xu.
“Moomoo API Skills helps investors translate intent into structured action while keeping them fully in control.”

Pioneering the Next Phase of Investing

The launch reflects a broader shift in investing, from tool based platforms to intent driven systems. With Moomoo API Skills, investors can define what they want to achieve, while intelligent systems handle how it is executed. This creates a more direct and structured path from idea to action, allowing investors to focus on strategy rather than operational complexity.

“We believe the next phase of investing is agentic — where investors define their intent and intelligent systems help carry out strategies. With Moomoo API Skills, investors can turn their ideas into structured strategies that can be tested and executed seamlessly within a single environment. Our focus is on enabling this in a way that enhances decision-making while keeping investors fully in control, bringing a more intuitive and accessible approach to strategy-driven investing,” said Xu.
