AskPorter gets £1.5m more to disrupt 'inefficient' property management

Artificial intelligence-based property management platform Askporter has won a further £1.5 million in funding from half a dozen venture capitalists. One of the backers, Woking-based Henley Investments, has used the announcement to claim that the property management sector is'inefficient and ripe for disruption'. Askporter, which still calls itself a start-up despite being three years old, is a proptech company that uses a digital platform including a'virtual assistant' app to help property management teams run buildings more efficiently. It claims to help "cut costs and reduce the time spent on tedious tasks, all the while providing first-class support to occupants". "Our success raising £1.5 million investment reflects wider changes sweeping the property industry," says AskPorter CEO Tom Shrive (pictured, left).
