    Participated · Seed · Jul 2026

    Prolo combines AI with human procurement specialists to act as an outsourced procurement team for SME contractors, enabling orders via WhatsApp, email or phone. The platform sources competitive pricing from a nationwide network of more than 185 suppliers and provides access to trade rates and specialist plant hire typically reserved for larger contractors. Prolo offers flexible credit terms of up to 90 days to help customers manage cash flow and take on larger projects. Founded by serial proptech entrepreneur James Morris-Manuel, the company aims to modernise long-standing inefficiencies in construction procurement. Prolo plans to expand its sales and marketing efforts and accelerate development and rollout of new technology and product features following its seed raise.

  • VIVLA

    Participated · Equity · Jul 2025

    VIVLA operates a co-ownership platform that lets families buy ownership shares in European second homes from as little as one-eighth of a property, pairing legal co-ownership with professional management and hotel-style services. Founded in Madrid in 2021, the company manages a portfolio of 60 properties in destinations including Ibiza, Menorca, Baqueira, Cantabria and Cádiz. VIVLA reports it has been profitable for over a year, manages over €80 million in assets, and has generated more than €40 million in revenue. Its user base exceeds 350 families with a satisfaction rate above 90% and strong referral indicators. The company plans to expand to Madrid, Mallorca, the Costa del Sol and Portugal and to internationalise its client base across Europe and Latin America. VIVLA also intends to invest the new capital in talent and AI to personalise the user experience and scale operations, and targets a network of more than 750 assets and over 5,000 co-owners by 2030. Vivla offers a flexible-property model that enables fractional purchase and legal ownership of second homes while managing maintenance, reservations and resale of shares. The company has developed its legal and financial structure in collaboration with law firm Garrigues and uses an algorithm to allocate booking weeks equitably among owners. Vivla combines boutique real-estate service with five-star concierge offerings and manages the full customer lifecycle from purchase to property administration and resale. The startup currently operates by invitation in Madrid, Marbella, Sotogrande, Ibiza and Mallorca, and plans to expand to the Canary Islands, Costa Brava, Costa Blanca and rural and mountain destinations. Vivla says it will use the newly raised funds to scale its property purchases and operations and aims to acquire €100 million of properties over the next two years. The company was founded by Iván Rodríguez, Carlos Floria and Carlos Emilio Gómez, and highlights extensive founder experience across proptech, Google and prior exits.

  • Automated Architecture

    Participated · Equity · Jun 2025

    AUAR combines compact robotic Micro‑Factories with proprietary MasterBuilder software to automate design-to-manufacture for timber homes. Builders rent Micro‑Factories that locally produce full timber structures in about 12 hours, cutting on‑site labour by up to 75% and lowering costs by 30–40%. The platform automates planning, fabrication, and project workflows to increase speed, control, and capacity across the construction value chain. In the past year AUAR worked on over 300 homes and delivered multiple projects in Belgium while developing a research facility called “ConstrucThor.” The company plans to scale its team and partner ecosystem and launch operations across Benelux, DACH, and the Nordics. By 2030 AUAR aims to have customers produce over 100,000 carbon‑negative homes in more than 10 geographies. AUAR develops an automated construction platform that combines Robotic Micro‑Factories with AUAR MasterBuilder, a design-to-manufacturing software suite. The product aims to increase efficiency, predictability and oversight while reducing financial risk and environmental costs for the construction value chain, homebuilders, developers and manufacturers. Led by CEO Mollie Claypool, the company focuses on manufacturing mid-rise timber housing. AUAR plans to scale up its building system and micro-factory platform to produce buildings up to six storeys. The company received a £341K Smart Grant from Innovate UK to support that effort. A 14-month project beginning January 2025 will develop a mid-rise prototype for testing, performance evaluation and regulatory compliance. Automated Architecture is a London‑based tech company (founded in 2019) developing a distributed micro‑factory network for sustainable timber housing. It licenses low‑CapEx robotic micro‑factories and an integrated tech stack to existing home builders, enabling local ecosystems of communities, contractors, architects and developers to produce low‑energy homes at scale. The company’s model aims to deliver high‑quality, sustainable timber homes at costs comparable to normal homes by increasing margins and productivity through robots and AI. Management says the solution lowers end‑user costs while helping construction companies meet sustainability targets. The company will use the new funding to grow its partner license network by ten more partners and to expand operations in the US. No operating metrics (revenue/users) were disclosed in the article.

  • PRODA

    Participated · Series A · Jun 2022

    PRODA provides a machine-learning trained, cloud-based SaaS solution that captures, standardises, validates, analyses and exchanges lease, property and unit-level rent roll data. The platform automates a previously manual and error-prone process and, according to the company, delivers up to a 90% reduction in overall processing time. PRODA’s software is used across 16 countries and is designed to handle data regardless of currency, language or property type. Launched in 2017, the product targets lenders, investors and asset managers within commercial real estate. The new funding is intended to help establish PRODA’s platform as the centralised hub for processing and analysing rent roll data. Management says the capital will accelerate product development and meet rapidly increasing demand.
