Non-Executive Director | Board Advisor | NED | SaaS

Non-Executive Director reuqired to sit on the Board of one of our PropTech companies.

• Capital Equipment
• Job Creation
• Financial Project
• Property
• R&D
• Turnaround
• Working Capital

187 of those companies were founded in that time period.

With more than 80% of venture capital investments arising in start-ups and with the acquisitions paying SaaS companies high value revenue multiples, it is no disbelief that interest in Software-as-a-Service is desirable.
