Our team and investors

Why was askporter founded?

Managing places and real assets is time-consuming, high-risk and human resource intensive. askporter was founded out of the belief that human time is precious. We feel passionate that no customer should have to sit in an endless call queue and that no team member should have to respond to the same questions over and over again. We believe that humans are meant for more.

Whats our mission?

To enable people to interact with their real world environment effortlessly by managing people, places and real assets autonomously with AI.
