Last week we had a call with the smart people at MetaProp NYC (thank you Leila and Aaron!) about progressing opportunities for our Irish proptech innovators who are ready to make a splash in the US marketplace.

Firstly, their world-renowned, 22-week accelerator programme is gearing up for another session with places still available – applications must be in by 15th August so hurry up and get started here:  MetaProp NYC Accelerator Applications

Here is a tip from their last round of applications:

“Be clear and concise. Last year, we accepted less than 3% of program applicants. Applications that impressed us had a short one-line business description (ex: SocialSign.in helps venues leverage their guest wifi) backed with a big vision for how the company will transform real estate.”

If you are not sure about whether or not this accelerator programme is the right next move for you or your business, or perhaps you are unsure about whether or not you are ready, email us on news@prop-tech.ie and we can arrange to have a chat and help you – if we can’t help, we will put you in touch with someone who can.

Also, there is a week of events scheduled in October, some of which might be of interest to Irish proptech innovators and/or investors: MetaProp NYC announces first slate of events for NYC Real Estate Tech Week.  We are hoping to attend, together with a number of Irish businesses.  MetaProp NYC has kindly offered to host a pre-accelerator ‘taster’ session to give Irish innovators and investors the Stateside proptech experience – email us to register your interest in joining an Irish group tavelling over on news@prop-tech.ie
