With PostFinance Ventures we welcome another well-known investor and partner. Existing investors, such as Migros and Serpentine Ventures are increasing their stakes and enabling us to conduct a pre-series A financing round of around CHF 3 million in the first quarter of 2023. This has enabled the company to raise around CHF 10 million in capital over the past 12 months. The funds will flow primarily into the expansion and scaling of the platform.
The investors’ commitment underlines the potential of the business model. Properti is creating a comprehensive residential ecosystem with its proprietary end-to-end PROPCHAIN® platform. As an “orchestrator”, we have direct contact with the end customers, establish the connection to the service providers and manage the customer interface of the digital platform.
Customers benefit from a high-quality all-round service from property purchase to management and sale, as well as other services via the partner network. The team and founders were recently named one of the 100 best PropTech companies in Europe by BUILTWORLD and PwC.
Levent Künzi, CEO Properti:
“We see the investments as a further award for our team and are delighted with the trust placed in us. With strong investors and partners at our side, we are reshaping the real estate world of tomorrow.”
Christian Renner, Investor PostFinance Ventures:
“Properti’s innovative platform is a sustainable solution that helps to increase efficiency and transparency in the real estate market. We are impressed with the team and business model and look forward to being part of the company’s growth story going forward.”
