Investment of $4 million in capital for the linking of intermediaries in loans and financial transactions with potential leads
Capitalize.io, a cutting-edge AI-based platform, has been unveiled to the public and has successfully completed its seed funding round. This innovative tool is designed specifically for the commercial real estate (CRE) sector, connecting brokers and lenders by transforming complex data into actionable deals.
A Game-Changer in the CRE Market
Capitalize's flagship product is the most advanced tool for finding real borrower and lender information. It uses proprietary AI to compile and organize data, delivering real-time contact details quickly and cost-effectively. The platform's key features include:
- Integration of diverse data types such as structured, semi-structured, and unstructured sources—including loan documents, mortgage records, PDFs, and public data—to create comprehensive insights.
- AI agents that help brokers and lenders connect and source high-quality leads efficiently by analysing extensive CRE debt and loan information.
- Automation of data handling to unlock opportunities in CRE debt markets, making it easier to identify and act on maturing commercial real estate debt worth trillions.
Streamlining Deal Workflows and Increasing Quality
The primary benefits of Capitalize.io are:
- Enhanced deal sourcing by leveraging AI to sift through large datasets and identify promising CRE deals quickly.
- Improved efficiency for brokers and lenders in connecting with qualified counterparties, reducing the time and effort traditionally required.
- Access to a cutting-edge AI interface that handles multi-format data inputs rather than relying on manual data processing.
Navigating the Historic Credit Crunch
With a historic credit crunch looming over the commercial real estate industry, as trillions in debt come due, Capitalize's AI-driven approach could not be more timely. The platform is projected to exceed $1 million in annual recurring revenue by year-end, providing much-needed clarity for brokers and lenders during challenging times.
Investors such as Lerer Hippeau and Sway Ventures, who previously backed co-founder Luke Morris's earlier venture, Crexi, are backing Capitalize. Co-founder Soren Craig leads the development of the AI engine for skip tracing and data enrichment, operating from Newport Beach and Los Angeles to serve brokers and lenders nationwide.
Ben Lerer, Managing Partner at Lerer Hippeau, believes Capitalize brings modern infrastructure to an industry in need, while Brian Nugent, Founding General Partner at Sway Ventures, states that Capitalize is launching at the right time to navigate the historic credit crunch in CRE.
Capitalize offers an AI-first approach to help brokers and lenders stay competitive in the CRE market, where outdated tools for moving capital are causing delays in capital flow and slowing down development.
- Capitalize.io, having completed its seed funding round, is on track to generate over $1 million in annual recurring revenue, offering an AI-first tool that streamlines deal workflows and increases quality, making it a game-changer for the commercial real estate market, especially during a historic credit crunch.
- The AI-based platform, Capitalize.io, with its advanced technologies, not only provides an efficient way for brokers and lenders to connect and find high-quality leads, but also offers investors like Lerer Hippeau and Sway Ventures a modern solution for an industry that desperately needs a technology boost, ultimately helping to navigate the credit crunch and maintain a steady flow of capital in the CRE market.
