We are not just delivering a single product; but a product led, innovation and data centric digital business that will be the dominant brand people use to find where and how they can work smarter, globally. With significant investment into the business, and with commercial real estate being one of the last major markets yet to be disrupted, we are uniquely positioned to lead the charge.
Armed with experienced senior leaders who have navigated similar journeys in B2B SaaS, marketplaces, and fast paced retail, we offer a rare opportunity to join a core team at the time of launching something special. We cater to the needs of all market participants with consumer-style websites and apps, integrating providers of workspaces from around the world, building platforms for employees to find the best places to work regardless of who manages them, and creating algorithms that unlock industry insights. Our strategy is clear, our leadership is empowering, and our core team has deep experience in commercial tech product and engineering. We prioritise value creation through engineering by employing the best current practices.

We have been focused on creating our first products that launched in Q4 2024 and scaling out to the team needed to accelerate our products.
