We spun out of ETH Zurich in 2022 and have recently raised a $4M preseed extension from toptier US and EU funds including Innovation Endeavors (the fund of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt) Planet A BitStone and Kompas. Our software has gained significant recognition in the industry lately winning some of the most prestigious awards for a (PropTech) startup: ULI PropTech Innovation ZIA PropTech of the Year W.A.
