This capital provides us the resources we need to expand into new moving segments and broaden our suite of marketplace and SaaS products.” – David Greenberg, founder and CEO of Updater.
“Updater provides a best-in-class platform that is redefining the relocation experience, providing a win-win model for both consumers and businesses.
