A comprehensive survey of the proptech landscape, using Housing.com data, reveals an impressive influx of $4 billion in funding since 2009. The surge is distinctly associated with the heightened integration of technology in the real estate sector, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. NoBroker.com achieved unicorn status in November 2021, securing $210 million funding at a valuation of $1 billion. Similarly, WestBridge Capital backed PropShare, secured $47 million in June last year.
This proptech funding surge resonates across diverse players. In June this year, HDFC Capital-backed proptech firm Reloy, which helps realtors in generating referral sales, raised nearly USD 1 million crore from investors to expand its business. Property Pistol received a commendable Rs 45 crore from investors, including ICICI Bank and Baring Private Equity Partners. Simultaneously, Landeed, specializing in property title searches, secured $8.3 million (equivalent to over Rs 67 crore) for strategic business expansion.
Noteworthy entrants into the proptech funding narrative include Crib, established in 2022. With a unique focus on providing tech solutions to entities managing hostels and co-living facilities tailored for both students and working professionals, Crib has successfully mobilized over $2.2 million in funding to date. Concurrently, Settl., a key player in the co-living sector, has also emerged as a recipient of substantial funds from investors, with entities like ah! Ventures and We Founder Circle featuring prominently among its backers.
In conclusion, HouseEazy's $1 million seed funding marks a pivotal moment for the proptech landscape, emphasizing the industry's growing reliance on technology. The broader proptech sector has witnessed substantial funding, reflecting a trend driven by technological integration. The dynamic evolution and significant investments in proptech are meant to shape the future of real estate transactions and services.
