- MagicDoor
Participated · Seed · Sep 2025
MagicDoor offers an AI-native, fully integrated property-management platform that unifies listing vacancies, payments, maintenance dispatch, vendor sourcing, compliance and tenant communication into a single system. The platform automatically triages requests, dispatches appropriate vendors and updates tenants in their preferred language, effectively executing work across systems rather than acting as a simple chatbot. Since launching in late 2024, MagicDoor has seen triple‑digit monthly growth and customers report up to a fivefold productivity improvement. The company describes its architecture as “open at the boundaries,” enabling it to adopt new AI models as they emerge and continually improve the product. The recent seed funding will be used to accelerate product development and hiring as MagicDoor scales to meet demand. Founder and CEO Kasper Søgaard is leading the company from Las Vegas and has added three new board members to support growth. MagicDoor offers an AI-native property management software platform that consolidates all property management functions into a single place. The platform uses AI to optimize efficiencies and automate and streamline property manager tasks. It provides a transparent pricing model of $2.50 per unit per month with no additional fees, no onboarding costs and no minimums. The company raised over $2M in Pre-Seed funding to accelerate growth. MagicDoor plans to use the funds to develop additional features in its AI-powered solution and to accelerate sales, marketing and onboarding efforts. The company was founded by Kasper Sogaard and is based in Las Vegas, NV.

Twill operates an invite-only, human-powered talent platform that connects companies with pre-vetted tech professionals recommended by experienced industry peers.

Twill says it typically places candidates in 30 days or less, accelerating time-to-hire by surfacing warm, vetted referrals. The company plans to expand its expert community, enhance platform capabilities, and grow its team to serve more hiring organizations. Twill is based in New York.
