Nick Katz, co-founder of Acasa, on the challenges of running a PropTech business

Acasa

I caught up with Nick Katz, CEO and co-founder of Acasa, a household management platform.

Katz spoke about how technology is disrupting the traditional property market and the challenges that come with running a PropTech business.

1. Tell me about your background. What were you doing before Acasa?

I worked in the US and the UK for nearly a decade in just about every segment of the real estate industry possible.

I’ve bought and sold commercial buildings, improved the energy efficiency of hotels, and deployed software to large property portfolios.

In 2013 I joined VC-backed Honest Buildings as head of Europe before launching Acasa. I love the idea of leveraging technology to help people live better at home.

I’m also an expert at dealing with housemate issues having rented and shared nine properties in London....
