As three former commercial real estate professionals, Peter Bird, Tom Cartlidge and Angus Abbott knew the intimate details of their trade, and exactly what they needed to create to improve it.

Since their founding, Propfolio has generated considerable enthusiasm, receiving their first investment from Pi Labs in 2018, and being selected just last year to join ten other startups in The Arcadis City of 2030 Accelerator powered by Techstars. Propfolio’s dynamic drive and exceptional product has made our work with them at Decent Labs a natural partnership. Since February of this year, our joint efforts have been engaged in retaining the original spirit of Propfolio while working to push boundaries within a rapid design and development process.
