Openn, a Claremont, Australia-based property technology company offering SaaS solutions for real estate, raised $3.65 million (before costs) via a placement.
The investment was supported by sophisticated and professional investors through the issue of fully paid ordinary shares (new shares) in the company (placement).
The funds will be used to progress the expansion into North America; refine Openn’s product offering with key strategic partners, and continue discussions with strategic investment and M&A opportunities.
Openn’s Managing Director, Peter Gibbons said: “This funding round will allow Openn to convert the successful pilots with key US and Canadian industry stakeholders into meaningful commercial outcomes. The Openn team is progressing relationships with new potential strategic partners whilst preparing to launch a transformational product roll-out collaboration with the Canadian Real Estate Association. “Over the next few months, shareholders can expect the Openn North America business to deliver a pipeline of rewarding news flow which validates the company’s investment in the region. “In the Australia/New Zealand market, we're transitioning to a subscription-based monetisation model while continuing to progress integrations with strategic partners that should set us up for rapid scale growth.”
