AskPorter Raises £500k to Turn Property Management Into a Smart, Hassle‑Free Ride
Imagine a world where your landlord is a friendly, ever‑present AI that solves issues before you even notice them. AskPorter is turning that dream into a reality—just once again, and it’s now got a new injection of cash to fuel the ride.
Funding Highlights
- £500k+ secured from industry veterans, led by David Newnes, former Executive Director at LSL Property Services.
- Personal backing from James Caan CBE and Faisal Butt, the “super‑angel” duo who love a good startup.
- Follow‑on commitment from Pi Labs, the PropTech VC firm that knows the market better than anyone.
What Makes AskPorter Stand Out?
AskPorter isn’t just a management tool— it’s a multichannel communication hub with a built‑in AI assistant named Porter. Picture Porter as your landlord’s personal butler: it does the heavy lifting, walks you through any tenant query, and hands off only when a human touch is necessary.
- Stop juggling email threads, phone calls, and work orders.
- Let the AI auto‑schedule maintenance and track tenant requests.
- Give tenants a concierge experience without cutting into your own bandwidth.
Roadmap for the Future
With the fresh funds and partner power, AskPorter is set to roll out across the UK, looking at enterprise clients—residential, PRS, block, and commercial properties alike.
- Launch the platform to private equity syndicates and large property portfolios.
- Scale the AI skillsets to automate up to 50% of routine work.
- Deliver a transparent, cost‑efficient experience for managers and tenants.
CEO Says …
“Our mission is to use AI to help folks build better relationships with their tenants without the headache,”
‑ Tom Shrive, CEO of AskPorter. He explains that this cut of money will help the company go national, redefining service standards across property management.
