Points are redeemable for travel, fitness, homeownership down payments, and everyday purchases. The platform connects property managers, financial institutions, and merchants in a single ecosystem.

With 44 million renter households in the US representing a $500 billion annual market, the opportunity is significant. Bilt raised $250M in July 2025 at a $10.75 billion valuation in a round co-led by General Catalyst and GID, nearly four times its $3.1 billion valuation in early 2024 (Bloomberg, July 10, 2025; Bilt press release). Total funding now exceeds $813M.

Its Hive platform manages HVAC systems, energy usage, and predictive maintenance without requiring teams to hand-code rules. Buildings controlled by PassiveLogic report energy savings of roughly 30% compared with conventional building management systems.

In October 2025, PassiveLogic closed a $74M Series C led by noa (Europe’s largest built-world VC), with new investors including Prologis Ventures, Johnson Controls, and PSP Growth. The company estimates that the autonomous buildings market could reach $1.3 trillion by 2030, compared with $191 billion for traditional building automation.

Founded 2024 · USA · Total funding: $270M · Valuation: $1.75B (unicorn)

One of the most notable new PropTech unicorns of early 2026, Bedrock Robotics is building autonomous construction equipment: self-driving vehicles and worksite machinery that use AI, LiDAR, satellite imagery, and 3D mapping to operate without human drivers. Its flagship product, Bedrock Operator, continuously generates real-time 3D site maps and automates grading, excavation, and on-site logistics. Backed by CapitalG, Tishman Speyer, MIT, and NVIDIA Ventures, the company raised $270M in February 2026. Construction automation is a key frontier for PropTech, and Bedrock is the most heavily funded new entrant in the category.

19. BrickMark Group

Founded 2018 · Switzerland · Total funding: CHF10M

BrickMark Group is a pioneer in real estate tokenization, converting ownership of commercial properties into digital tokens that can be traded on blockchain platforms. This model enables fractional ownership, improves liquidity for traditionally illiquid assets, and opens real estate investment to a broader investor base. With the tokenized real estate market projected to grow from $300 billion in 2024 to $3.2 trillion by 2030, BrickMark is well-positioned at the forefront of this structural shift.

20. Fundrise

23. GreenLite

Founded 2021 · USA · Total funding: $49.5M

GreenLite applies AI to one of the most stubborn bottlenecks in real estate development: the permitting process. Its platform automates private plan review by using AI to check construction documents against building codes and zoning requirements, reducing permitting timelines by up to 75%. For developers, that compression translates directly into faster project starts, lower carrying costs, and improved net operating income. JLL Spark and other institutional investors backed GreenLite’s $49.5M round as part of a broader thesis that infrastructure-level PropTech creates durable value.

24. Kzas.AI

Founded 2019 · São Paulo, Brazil · Total funding: $5M

Real Estate Tech Trends Shaping Innovation in 2026

Five developments are driving the current PropTech investment surge and separating companies building lasting infrastructure from those adding surface-level features.

Agentic AI moves from tools to autonomous systems

The next phase of PropTech AI moves beyond chatbots and recommendation engines into multi-step autonomous workflows. Platforms like EliseAI are already executing full leasing cycles — inquiry, qualification, scheduling, and renewal — without human intervention at each step.

Construction technology reaches mainstream adoption

Autonomous construction equipment, AI-driven project management, and robotic installation are crossing from pilot to production. Bedrock Robotics’ $1.75B valuation at founding reflects capital markets’ conviction that ConTech is no longer speculative.

PropTech-FinTech convergence creates new financial infrastructure

Bilt Rewards, Flyhomes, and Fundrise are building financial products inside real estate workflows rather than alongside them. This convergence is creating a new class of platforms that monetize the transaction, not just the software license.

ESG compliance drives smart building and IoT adoption

As mandatory carbon benchmarking laws expand across major US markets and the EU, asset owners need verifiable data, not estimates. Platforms like Enertiv and PassiveLogic provide the measurement infrastructure that makes compliance possible.

Generative AI enters property operations

Lease abstraction, contract analysis, investor reporting, and building code review are being automated using large language models. GreenLite and Juniper Square’s Junie AI represent the direction: AI that removes administrative work from the critical path.

How to Become an Innovative Real Estate Tech Company: Practical Framework

Companies that build durable PropTech share five operational principles.

Start with a specific pain point, not a technology thesis

The most successful platforms on this list — EliseAI, Stavvy, GreenLite — targeted a single, well-defined friction point and built outward. Platforms that started with a general AI thesis and looked for applications tend to have shorter trajectories.

Build for actual user workflows, not idealized assumptions

Property managers, brokers, and developers work in fragmented, often manual environments. Software that requires a clean data environment before it delivers value rarely gets past pilot.

Embed AI at the architecture level

The distinction between companies with durable AI advantages and those that have bolted on AI features lies in whether AI sits at the core of the data model or at the surface of the interface. Core AI means every new data point makes the system smarter. Surface AI means a prompt wrapper that a competitor can replicate in a quarter.

Integrate with the ecosystem from launch

MLS, IDX, CRM, payment rails, and property management platforms form the infrastructure layer of real estate. Companies that integrate with these systems early capture data that makes their product better; those that try to replace them face an adoption problem.

Measure operational metrics, not software metrics

PropTech products succeed or fail on vacancy rates, conversion rates, maintenance response times, and portfolio NOI — not on DAU or NPS. Building the feedback loop from operational outcomes to product iteration is what separates PropTech companies from SaaS companies operating in real estate.
