8 of the hottest #PropTech startups in the UK
Written by Emma Tully
While FinTech seems to be hitting all the headlines this year we’ve been championing another emerging sector in the technology market known as PropTech. PropTech (that’s property and technology) sees entrepreneurs, incubators and accelerators using technology to improve how property is dealt with and experienced.
