GoCanopy, an AI-powered operating system for institutional real estate investors, has raised €2.1 million in seed funding. Leading this round were ISAI, with contributions from BNP Paribas Développement, Yellow, and distinguished angel investors such as Andrew Baum and Ludovic Jacquot.
For institutional real estate investment teams, comprehensive data on deals, tenants, and finances abounds. This data often remains disconnected, scattered across emails, PDFs, Excel files, and isolated team insights, hampering decision-making and asset management execution.
GoCanopy's platform aims to address these challenges by consolidating this fragmented information into an accessible AI-driven system. Through a shared extraction layer, GoCanopy converts internal documents, like offering memoranda and rent rolls, into a unified source of institutional intelligence. This system aims to strengthen with each transaction, creating an enduring institutional memory.
The platform allows investment teams to efficiently search and compare past deals, enhancing core workflows such as deal screening and investment committee preparation. On the asset management front, GoCanopy supports ongoing portfolio management by identifying opportunities and ensuring insights remain traceable.
Co-founder William He reflects on the motivation behind the venture, emphasising the potential of AI in revealing previously inaccessible revenue streams. Drawing inspiration from Bloomberg's financial influence, He aims to establish GoCanopy as an important system of record for real estate.
Founded by William He and Yash Pabbisetti in 2023, GoCanopy aims to improve real estate investment interaction through AI. With fresh capital, the company plans to enhance its platform further, expand its international presence, and deepen both its commercial and engineering teams.
François Collet, partner at ISAI, believes GoCanopy demonstrates successful AI enterprise through its market expertise and validated business model. Similarly, Andrew Baum highlighted the industry’s need for effective technology solutions and leadership, which he sees reflected in GoCanopy’s approach.
As it embarks on this new chapter, GoCanopy is positioned to deliver solutions that help improve the landscape of real estate investment, aiming to provide value for all stakeholders.
