LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – 30/09/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a move that reflects the growing intersection between education, entrepreneurship, and digital technology, property investor and educator Samuel Leeds has unveiled Samuel Social, a purpose-built networking app designed exclusively for members of his Property Investors Academy. The platform, which quickly achieved a notable #69 ranking in the global App Store’s social category, is already attracting over 1,000 active users, signaling a strong appetite for a closed community that blends professional collaboration with peer support in the real estate space.
Unlike mainstream platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn—where users often have to navigate competitive tensions, mixed audiences, or even workplace sensitivities—Samuel Social has been conceived as a safe, members-only digital environment. The app is intentionally structured to empower property entrepreneurs to openly share progress, challenges, and strategies without concern for negative commentary or exposure to professional conflicts. Leeds describes the app as an extension of his educational philosophy: “The aim is to give property investors a platform where transparency is celebrated, collaboration is natural, and mutual encouragement becomes the default culture,” he said during the launch announcement.
The creation of Samuel Social reflects a larger trend in professional networking, where industry-specific platforms are emerging to replace the catch-all environments of general social media. For property investors, particularly in the UK, this shift carries unique weight. Many aspiring and established entrepreneurs are hesitant to post on mainstream channels, fearing criticism, scrutiny from employers, or even skepticism from peers. By offering a closed, curated space, Samuel Social addresses these barriers head-on, providing members of the Academy a chance to document their journey with confidence and to receive authentic feedback from like-minded individuals who share similar ambitions.
Beyond Education: Building a Community Infrastructure
Samuel Social integrates seamlessly into the broader Property Investors Academy ecosystem, which organizes more than 40 networking events every month across the UK and has recently extended its presence internationally, including into markets such as Dubai. Within the app, members gain access to features that transcend the scope of traditional networking. They can connect directly with fellow investors, share updates on their projects, book unlimited mentoring sessions with a team of in-house experts ranging from solicitors to accountants and surveyors, and even communicate directly with Leeds himself. The platform also facilitates coordination for site tours of live property developments, creating a digital-to-physical link that deepens community engagement.
This holistic approach reflects Leeds’ broader vision of the Academy as more than a training provider. With an 86% reported success rate of members achieving financial freedom within their first year, the institution positions itself as both an educational program and a support system. The addition of Samuel Social acts as a digital anchor, uniting the Academy’s various offerings into a centralized hub. “We see the Academy as a movement,” Leeds explained, “and Samuel Social is the digital home where that movement thrives.”
Investment in Technology and People
The launch of Samuel Social has been backed by a significant personal investment of £250,000 from Leeds. The funding has enabled the hiring of two dedicated IT consultants to maintain and enhance the platform, alongside contributions from the wider academy team of 50 staff members. Leeds emphasized that the goal was to match the intuitive design and functionality of leading apps like Instagram, while maintaining exclusivity and a sharp focus on property investing. “It’s not simply a social network,” he noted, “it’s a platform built by investors, for investors. Every feature has been tailored to the realities and needs of property entrepreneurship.”
The development of the app also signals Leeds’ broader commitment to digital innovation within education and community building. As property markets become increasingly globalized and competitive, platforms such as Samuel Social provide entrepreneurs with tools to navigate complexity collectively rather than in isolation. For many Academy members, the app is not just a convenience—it is an essential instrument that complements networking events, mentorship programs, and the shared culture of accountability cultivated through the Academy.
