PropHero, a Sydney and Madrid-based proptech company that provides a digital property investment platform, raised an additional AU$8 million in seed funding.
The round was co-led by Fifth Wall and Samaipata, with participation from venture capital firms Jelix Ventures and AfterWork Ventures.
The investment proceeds will be used to continue to build an integrated online property investment service, to improve the company’s data models and digital customer experiences, to grow partner referral channels in mortgage broking, accounting, and financial advisory, to hire for key roles, and to expand the geographic footprint into new international locations.
“We are helping our clients to build property wealth over time,” said Pablo Gil Brusola, PropHero’s Co-Founder & Co-CEO. “After a property strategy consultation with a property coach, our platform shows you personalized recommendations. Then we make it super easy for you to buy and manage that property because we have a network of trusted real estate professionals who help with the inspection, offer, financing, and ownership process.”
“Seeing the reality of our product-market fit is amazing!” said PropHero’s Co-Founder & Co-CEO Mickael Roger. “We have helped more than 200 clients find their dream property. Around 60% of our clients are returning to buy their second and third properties with us and 80% refer their friends and family.”
Harnessing the power of big data and AI, PropHero’s proprietary technology identifies investment properties with the potential for high return and low risk. Clients can access the platform’s bespoke recommendations 24/7 through a smartphone app and, additionally, have access to a personal property coach and a network of property professionals.
