  • Cadastral

    Participated · Equity · Feb 2026

    Founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York City, Cadastral builds vertically specific AI agents that automate complex commercial real estate (CRE) workflows such as T-12 analysis, lease abstraction, loan compliance, underwriting and acquisitions due diligence. Its flagship platform integrates with document systems like SharePoint, Box, Dropbox and real-estate tools such as Yardi, delivering institutional-grade analysis without customer-specific training. Since launching in late 2025, the company has attracted over 40 paying customers spanning owner-operators, REITs and service providers, demonstrating rapid market traction in a historically slow-moving industry.

Co-founders Abhinav “Abe” Somani (ex-Leverton) and Aman Dhesi (ex-Meta, DoorDash, Square) bring deep real-estate and large-scale AI experience. Newly raised capital will fund accelerated product development and expanded go-to-market initiatives to cement Cadastral as the pre-eminent vertical AI platform for CRE. No revenue figures have been disclosed, but the company highlights ease of deployment and rapid time-to-value as key adoption drivers.

  • Ridley

    Participated · Seed · Dec 2025

    Ridley offers a step-by-step, AI-driven platform that helps homeowners list, market, and sell properties without paying traditional agent commissions. The Newark, Delaware-based company distributes listings to major home-buying sites, provides on-demand legal support and concierge services, and connects users with Ridley Preferred Agents for expert help.
