Proptech startups
Startups reworking how buildings get financed, designed and built, and how people find their way into them.
What counts as Proptech
Proptech covers startups reworking how buildings get financed, designed and built, and how people find their way into them. On this hub that means construction operations, buying and selling without an agent, renting and tenant screening, new ownership models including co-ownership and tokenisation, and software for managing a home once you are in it.
Every stage of a building has a startup
Read end to end, this hub tracks a property from the ground up: getting it built, getting it sold, getting someone into it, and keeping it running.
Construction is a coordination problem
The construction companies here almost never sell a new way to build. They sell a way to stop losing time. Assignar runs operations for self-perform contractors, Planyard handles job costing on large projects, and BuilderComs exists because builders, contractors and clients were losing the thread between them. Dibbs does the same for buying materials.
The exceptions are the two companies changing the method itself - MDLR Brands with modular construction and Build Buddy, which walks a homeowner through building without a builder at all.
Taking out the middle
A clear thread runs through the transaction companies: someone in the chain is being removed. Homeshake connects buyers and sellers directly and skips the agent's commission. Repair Pricer removes the argument after an inspection by pricing the repairs itself, and Coffee Clozers is built so individual investors can find cash-flowing properties without the tooling institutions have.
Renting, from both sides
Brixbid is the most unusual idea here
- letting renters name their own price rather than accept the listed one.
Diggz treats the roommate as a matching problem rather than a vacancy, and Semester Sublet solves a narrow, real problem: an apartment sitting empty while its tenant studies abroad.
On the landlord side, Snappt works further upstream than most - detecting forged pay stubs and bank statements before a tenancy starts, on the argument that it prevents evictions later.
Who is allowed to own a building
The most interesting structural ideas here are about ownership. Mortgage Mates matches strangers into co-ownership. e-States tokenises commercial property so it can be crowdfunded, and Building applies the same technology to due diligence and financing rather than to the ownership itself.
After the keys
HomeZada treats the home as the household's largest financial asset and manages it accordingly. Armadillo rebuilds the home warranty as an affordable subscription, and SAST works on indoor air quality - the part of a building nobody sees until it is a problem.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Proptech hub cover?
The full life of a building - construction operations, the buying and selling process, renting and tenant screening, alternative ownership models, and software for managing a home after purchase. Commercial space brokerage and property data sit here too.
What are the startups here trying to remove?
Usually an intermediary or a cost. Homeshake removes the agent, Build Buddy removes the builder, Brixbid removes the fixed asking rent, Repair Pricer removes the guesswork after an inspection, and Mortgage Mates removes the assumption that a buyer has to be one household.
Is anyone working on how people afford a home at all?
Two, from different angles. Mortgage Mates matches strangers who want to co-own a property together. e-States tokenises institutional-grade commercial buildings so smaller investors can hold a share of something they could not buy outright.
What construction problems come up most?
Coordination and cost. Assignar covers operations for contractors, Planyard handles job costing on large projects, BuilderComs works on communication between builders and clients, and Dibbs attacks procurement of materials and services.
Are there tools for landlords and property managers?
Yes. Snappt detects fraudulent pay stubs and bank statements to reduce evictions before they start, and RocketPlan serves the restoration professionals who handle insurance claims when something goes wrong with the building.
