Why all Founders need an Ascendix proptech consulting & software development audit?
Recently as a part of my private research I spent two weeks analysing 1,327 property technology companies, I started with a list of 912 companies that I had complied and analysed in 2020. Revised it to those who had not exited and were still trading and added 136 clients and a number of start-ups.
From this work a number of trends and observations became clear, most notably that funding; some companies having had five or more rounds of funding sometimes over £60M, often did not translate into guaranteeing a penny of profit. Whereas a number of companies had exited who never took V/C or P/E cash.
The other thing that was blatantly obvious is that a huge swathe of zombie technology companies exist, stumbling along, and they need not, all they require is to undertake some professional external help, (and I am not particularly talking about engaging my services at Proptech-PR) I am actually suggesting a lot of Founders, CTO’s and indeed investors should be using the services of Ascendix.
To be clear I have no commercial tie up with this company so if you use them or do not use them it will not make and difference to me financially, but I just know what good looks like. And having known Wes Snow for some years he really is person that can tell you where you are, and the best and most profitable way forward. As there a huge number of Proptechs out their just languishing and need a clear picture of what to do.
In his own words Wes Snow, CEO and co-founder of Ascendix puts it this way, ‘Whether you want to optimize existing software or assess the feasibility of integrating emerging technologies like AI, we’re here to help.
