Friends, as you know, Builders is a startup studio where we build software companies by helping future tech founders realise their full potential.

Maybe you didn't know that I've been active in the real estate software industry and networks for quite some years now. My passion for the industry goes way beyond just software and goes deep into shaping the future of living and work.

So. I'm excited to announce that we're combining a shared passion for real estate with the love of building great software products. Builders is on a journey to create a universe of meaningful companies for the future of living and work. Starting with property tech, also known as PropTech.

Join us on our mission to build colossal software companies as a CEO or CTO! Check out my latest Medium article, where we decode the PropTech space and talk shop.
