Relocation and Real Estate Online Marketplace from Montreal among the top 1% of startups chosen for the 2016 Techstars accelerator program
Boston, MA, February 24, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Navut, a Montreal-based service provider and start-up, has been accepted into one of the most prestigious and renowned accelerator programs in the world: Techstars.
The announcement that Navut made the cut and was chosen for the Techstars mentoring program comes on the heels of their launch into the Vancouver real estate market, and will also serve as a launchpad for the Boston area, starting a gradual penetration into the U.S. real estate services industry.
"We are extremely honored to have been chosen by Techstars. This is a pivotal period of growth for Navut, and we look forward to all that we will achieve in the next three months."
Mauro Repacci, Co-Founder and CEO, Navut
"165 million people move every year in the developed countries alone, and 80% of those surveyed are using that opportunity to try new products and services", said Marcos Azevedo, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Navut. "Within a short period of time they need to find a home, open a new bank account, buy a car, get a cell phone plan and so on. We are providing them with a single, unified platform that matches them to these service providers," continued Marcos. "Identifying your ideal neighborhood and finding new businesses you can trust is a very challenging task. Wrong choices can have a dramatic impact on someone’s finances and lifestyle"
"With this accelerator program, we plan to learn from business experts with varied backgrounds that possess a strong track-record for success, as well as gather more funding. This will allow Navut to reinvest and scale our business model to cover all of North America, the most desirable relocation destination," said Mauro Repacci, Co-Founder and CEO at Navut.
Navut is a new concept in online real estate and related services. We disrupt the market by allowing people to locate their neighborhood first, based on criteria that matters to them, such as demographics, proximity to schools, crime rates and lifestyle factors, then connect with real estate professionals and other businesses to find their perfect home.
