by Startacus Admin
If you are an entrepreneur with a tech or digital innovation that could impact the housing sector, then this new opportunity could be for you!
HouseMark Evolve
Leading provider of Social Housing Data HouseMark, have teamed up with our colleagues at Innovation Specialists LMarks, and 13 leading UK housing providers to create HouseMark Evolve - an accelerator programme designed to help tech and digital startups looking to break into the social housing market.
Central to the aim of the 12-week programme will be helping entrepreneurs to understand the business opportunities that exist within the sector, as well as supporting the development of new and necessary products and services.
Startups who are awarded a place on the accelerator will be given access to senior leaders in the housing sector.
The providers in the programme have hundreds-of-thousands of owned and managed homes between them, as well as plans to build thousands more in the coming years. At a time when digital technology focused innovations are revolutionising the housing sector this is a great opportunity to break into a market with huge potential.
Arturo Dell, Product Development Director at HouseMark said,
“We are very excited by HouseMark Evolve because it is the first sector-wide programme of its kind. We know there is a need and we know there are bright minds and new ideas and we are looking forward to seeing what happens when we bring them together.”
