Please join us for a conversation with Vasa Dasan, Chief Operating Officer of ProStar Holdings, on May 19, 2022, at 1:00 pm EDT. Topics will include the following:
- How Vasa Dasan completely rebuilt ProStar software (i.e., rewrote every line of code) to migrate to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Prior to AWS, ProStar had the functionality, but was not a globally scalable product such that 70%+ margins were a possibility.
- How ProStar can settle in any currency, respect data sovereignty of any country, communicate in any language, and can integrate with virtually any BIM software the industry uses.
- Learn about Vasa’s latest challenge: the ProStar app store on its own website—this store will preserve gross margins as ProStar scales.
- Hear how Vasa’s long experience in Silicon Valley and his incredible Rolodex is driving ProStar to the next level.
