What are the fundraising trends in the Prop Tech market?
In our Prop Tech market deck, you will find everything you need to understand the market
SUMMARY
This report analyzes the PropTech market from January 2024 through year-to-date 2026, using disclosed equity rounds of $300K or more for pure-play companies whose products materially improve how real-estate assets are operated, managed, leased, or transacted.
The PropTech market expanded from 23 qualifying deals and about $942M in 2024 to 32 deals and about $1.31B in 2025. Year-to-date 2026 then reached 31 deals and about $576M, so current activity is broad, but the capital total is still heavily shaped by one large round.
The freshest comparison shows more capital but much smaller typical rounds. Year-to-date 2026 funding is about 17% higher than the same period in 2025, but deal count is up from 12 to 31, while the median round fell from $29M to $5M.
Capital remains highly concentrated. In year-to-date 2026, Mews alone accounts for about 52% of all PropTech funding, the top 3 rounds account for about 65%, and the bottom half of deals captures only about 5.5% of capital.
Property Management Systems remain the largest capital category in the PropTech market. They captured about 47% of full-year 2025 capital and about 61% of year-to-date 2026 capital, showing that investors continue to reward software that becomes the daily operating layer for real-estate assets.
Real Estate Brokerage Software and Real Estate Data Tools are the strongest formation categories in year-to-date 2026. Together they account for 17 of the 31 qualifying deals, but they capture much less capital than Property Management Systems.
The market is more experimental by deal count than by capital allocation. Seed rounds make up about 65% of year-to-date 2026 deals, but Series B and later rounds still capture about 74% of capital.
New startups are clearly entering the PropTech market. First financings rose from 13% of deals in 2024 to 28% in 2025 and about 42% in year-to-date 2026, although those first financings still account for only about 8% of 2026 capital.
The PropTech market is becoming more global by deal count. Europe and North America each produced 8 year-to-date 2026 deals, while the Middle East and Asia-Pacific each produced 7, but capital remains concentrated in Europe and North America.
The most important interpretation is that PropTech investors are not simply funding “real estate plus AI.” The largest checks go to companies that own recurring workflows, budget lines, transaction infrastructure, or systems of record for owners, operators, brokers, managers, tenants, or buildings.

Is more or less capital going into the PropTech market?
More capital is going into the PropTech market on the freshest year-to-date comparison, but the increase is much weaker than the deal-count increase and is heavily distorted by one very large round. Year-to-date 2026 funding reached about $576M across 31 qualifying deals, compared with about $492M across 12 deals over the comparable January through early July period in 2025.
That means capital is up by roughly 17%, while the number of deals is up by almost 2.6x. The PropTech market is therefore not seeing a simple surge in large-check conviction; it is seeing many more financings, but at smaller typical sizes.
The fuller annual comparison also points to growth, but with concentration. Full-year 2025 PropTech funding was about $1.31B, up from about $942M in 2024, and deal count rose from 23 to 32. However, the average round size stayed almost flat at about $41M in both years, while the median moved only slightly from $14M to $15M.
The key caveat is that both 2025 and year-to-date 2026 are top-heavy. In 2025, the top 3 rounds captured about 57% of capital. In year-to-date 2026, Mews alone captured about 52% of all funding. The market is attracting more money, but the headline number still overstates how easy fundraising is for the median PropTech company.
For the full category context, see the full PropTech market report.
Is PropTech funding activity driven by more deals or larger rounds?
PropTech funding activity is being driven much more by more deals than by larger rounds. The clearest evidence is the year-to-date comparison: deal count rose from 12 deals over the comparable 2025 period to 31 deals in year-to-date 2026, while total capital rose only from about $492M to about $576M.
Round-size indicators confirm the same point. The average year-to-date round size fell from about $41M in the comparable 2025 period to about $18.6M in 2026, and the median round fell from $29M to $5M. That is a major downshift in what a typical funded company is raising.
The full-year 2025 versus 2024 comparison is more balanced but still points toward activity breadth rather than round expansion. Deals increased from 23 to 32, while average round size stayed nearly unchanged and median round size rose only slightly.
The practical interpretation is that the PropTech market is active, but not indiscriminately flush. Investors are writing more checks, especially into seed and smaller workflow, data, and brokerage companies, but the median company is raising less than the headline capital total implies.
Is PropTech capital moving toward later-stage or earlier-stage companies?
PropTech capital is still moving mostly toward later-stage companies, but the deal-count mix is shifting earlier in 2026. In year-to-date 2026, late-stage companies, meaning Series B and later plus Growth Equity, captured about $428M, or 74% of total capital.
The count shift is much more early-stage. Seed rounds represented 20 of 31 year-to-date 2026 deals, or about 65% of all activity. Over the comparable 2025 period, seed represented only 1 of 12 deals.
The full-year comparison supports the same direction, though less dramatically. In 2025, early-stage and unknown-stage capital was about 19% of total funding, up from about 13% for Seed and Series A in 2024. First financings also increased from 13% of deals in 2024 to 28% in 2025.
The right interpretation is that the PropTech market is not becoming an early-stage capital market. It is becoming a later-stage capital market with more early-stage experimentation around it. Investors are funding new companies, but the serious dollars still require evidence of platform status, recurring workflows, or scaled customer adoption.

Is the PropTech market maturing or still experimental?
The PropTech market is maturing by capital allocation but still experimental by company formation. The maturity signal is visible in the dollar mix: late-stage and growth rounds captured about 81% of all capital in 2025 and about 74% in year-to-date 2026.
The experimental signal is visible in deal count. Year-to-date 2026 had 31 qualifying deals by early July, compared with 12 over the same period in 2025, and seed rounds accounted for 20 of those 31 deals. First financings also rose from 8% over the comparable 2025 period to about 42% in year-to-date 2026.
The market is therefore bifurcated. The capital stack is mature because the largest checks are going to embedded systems of record, property-management platforms, leasing decisioning, building operations, and transaction infrastructure. The company-formation layer is experimental because many new companies are using AI to attack narrow real-estate workflows.
This matters because a high number of new PropTech startups does not automatically mean a broad venture boom. Many year-to-date 2026 companies raised $5M or less, and the median round was only $5M. The PropTech market is mature where workflow ownership is proven and experimental where AI is still searching for durable operating wedges.
Are new startups still entering the PropTech market?
Yes, new startups are clearly still entering the PropTech market, and the evidence is stronger in 2026 than in 2025. First financings represented about 42% of year-to-date 2026 deals, up from only about 8% over the comparable 2025 period.
However, the capital behind those new startups remains modest. First financings captured only about 8% of year-to-date 2026 capital. That is an improvement from the comparable 2025 period, when first financings captured less than 1% of capital, but it is still a small share of the total.
The full-year comparison supports the same conclusion. In 2024, first financings were 13% of deals and 1.3% of capital. In 2025, first financings rose to 28% of deals but only 1.6% of capital. New PropTech companies are getting funded, but the biggest checks still go to companies with prior proof.
The most important interpretation is that PropTech formation is alive, but investors are keeping new-company checks small. The market is encouraging experimentation around AI-native real-estate workflows, data infrastructure, brokerage automation, and leasing tools, but serious capital is still reserved for companies that have already proven adoption.
For a deeper view of first financings and startup formation, see the PropTech market deck.
Are more investors entering the PropTech market?
More investors appear to be entering the PropTech market in year-to-date 2026, but the full-year comparison is more mixed. Year-to-date 2026 had about 103 named investors across 31 deals, compared with about 47 named investors across 12 deals over the comparable 2025 period.
The number of unique tier-1 investors also increased from 19 in the comparable 2025 period to 25 in year-to-date 2026. That points to a broader investor base in the freshest period, especially around seed-stage AI and workflow companies.
The full-year comparison is less clearly expansionary. Full-year 2025 had approximately 78 disclosed unique investors, compared with 85 in 2024, although the number of unique tier-1 investors increased from 22 to 29. So 2025 had more deals and more marquee names, but not necessarily more disclosed investor breadth.
The difference matters. Year-to-date 2026 has many more small seed rounds, and seed rounds naturally pull in angels, microfunds, strategic operators, local funds, and regional capital. More investors are showing up, but that does not yet prove that large institutional capital is broadly returning to the PropTech market.

Are top investors getting more or less active in PropTech?
Top investors are not getting more active in a repeatable, concentrated way in the PropTech market. The market has strong investor names, but repeat activity by the same top investors appears weaker, not stronger.
In 2024, RET Ventures appeared in 3 qualifying deals, and Crow Holdings, Nuveen Real Estate, and Navitas Capital each appeared in 2. In 2025, only JLL Spark, Eurazeo, and RET Ventures appeared more than once, each with 2 deals. In year-to-date 2026, only Alumni Ventures appeared more than once in the named investor set.
That does not mean top investors have left the PropTech market. Year-to-date 2026 includes EQT Growth, Atomico, Battery Ventures, Tiger Global, General Catalyst, Accel, a16z, Ribbit, Fifth Wall, DST Global, JLL Spark, Nyca, Mubadala, MEVP, Property Finder, First Round, and Left Lane.
The best interpretation is that top investors remain selective. The PropTech market is not being driven by a small group of specialist investors spraying capital across the category. Instead, top investors are showing up when a company looks like a system of record, a category leader, or a workflow owner.
Which PropTech subcategories are gaining momentum?
The clearest PropTech subcategories gaining momentum are Real Estate Brokerage Software, Real Estate Data Tools, and Property Management Systems, but each is gaining in a different way. Real Estate Brokerage Software gained the most by deal activity, rising from 2 deals over the comparable 2025 period to 9 deals in year-to-date 2026.
Real Estate Data Tools gained strongly by formation. The category had no capital in the comparable 2025 year-to-date split, but reached 8 deals and about $35M in year-to-date 2026. That is not a large capital pool, but it is one of the strongest signals of startup formation.
Property Management Systems gained by capital, not just by count. The category captured about $349M in year-to-date 2026, or roughly 61% of total capital, up from about $202M and 41% of capital over the comparable 2025 period.
On the full-year view, Property Management Systems were already the leading category in 2025, with about $620M and 47% of total capital, after also leading 2024 with about $608M and 65% of capital. The momentum hierarchy is clear: Property Management Systems retain the most capital credibility, Real Estate Brokerage Software is gaining the most visible deal breadth, and Real Estate Data Tools are gaining the most early-stage formation momentum.
For the complete category breakdown, see the market report covering PropTech subcategories.
Which PropTech subcategories are losing momentum?
Building Operations Systems are the clearest losing-momentum category in the freshest PropTech comparison. Over the comparable 2025 period, Building Operations Systems had 3 deals and about $93M of capital; in year-to-date 2026, the category had only 1 qualifying deal for $8M.
Property Operations Software is also weaker by capital in the year-to-date comparison, although not by deal count. The category had 3 deals and about $93M over the comparable 2025 period, then 4 deals and about $72M in year-to-date 2026. The number of companies increased slightly, but capital declined.
Leasing Technology has a mixed signal. It rose from 2 deals and $18M over the comparable 2025 period to 4 deals and about $47M in year-to-date 2026, but its capital share remains only about 8%. Compared with full-year 2025, the category also looks less dominant because EliseAI’s $250M Series E made Leasing Technology a major capital pool in 2025.
The fuller 2025 versus 2024 comparison shows Real Estate Data Tools lost capital share badly in 2025, falling from about $114M in 2024 to about $11M in 2025. That weakness reversed by count in year-to-date 2026, but not yet by capital scale.

Which regions are gaining momentum in the PropTech market?
The Middle East and Asia-Pacific are gaining the most deal-count momentum in the freshest PropTech comparison, while Europe is gaining the most capital momentum because of Mews and Dwelly. In year-to-date 2026, Europe and North America each had 8 deals, while the Middle East and Asia-Pacific each had 7.
By capital, Europe is the clear year-to-date 2026 winner. Europe captured about $367M, or 64% of total capital, up from about $65M and 13% over the comparable 2025 period. However, that European capital leadership is heavily distorted by Mews’ $300M round.
The Middle East is gaining momentum in a more structural way. It produced 7 year-to-date 2026 deals and about $49M of capital, compared with 1 deal and $16M over the comparable 2025 period. Its activity spans rental automation, real-estate data, brokerage and investment infrastructure, tokenization, sales optimization, and rental revenue management.
Asia-Pacific gained strongly by deal count but not by capital scale. It rose from 1 comparable-period deal in 2025 to 7 year-to-date 2026 deals, but capital remained modest at about $24M. That suggests more formation in India and Australia, but smaller rounds and less late-stage platform funding than Europe or North America.
Which regions are losing momentum in the PropTech market?
North America is losing relative share in the freshest PropTech comparison, even though it is not losing absolute relevance. Over the comparable 2025 period, North America captured about $357M, or 73% of capital, across 6 deals. In year-to-date 2026, North America captured about $131M, or 23% of capital, across 8 deals.
That decline is mostly a relative-share issue, not a disappearance of North American funding. North America still produced meaningful rounds across Cambio, Visitt, Breezy, Cadastral, Dono, Ownwell, Findigs, and Titl. The region also had the highest year-to-date median round size at about $14M.
Africa is also losing relative visibility compared with its 2025 moment, but the sample is too thin to call a durable trend. In the comparable 2025 period, Africa had Nawy’s $52M equity round. In year-to-date 2026, Africa had Agenz’s $5M round.
Latin America is absent in year-to-date 2026 after appearing in full-year 2025 through Lastro. From a visible funding perspective, Latin America is currently the weakest region in the PropTech market, but the absence could reflect reporting timing or the strict public-disclosure filter.
Is the PropTech market becoming more global or more regionally concentrated?
The PropTech market is becoming more global by deal count but remains regionally concentrated by capital. Year-to-date 2026 has qualifying deals across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Africa, with Europe and North America each at 8 deals and the Middle East and Asia-Pacific each at 7.
Capital tells a different story. Europe captured about 64% of year-to-date 2026 capital, largely because of Mews, while North America captured about 23%. The Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Africa together produced 15 of 31 deals but less than 14% of total capital.
The full-year comparison supports the same split interpretation. In 2025, North America had 38% of deals but 74% of capital, while Europe had 41% of deals but only 14% of capital. In 2024, Europe captured 45% of capital because of Hostaway, while North America led deal count with 57% of deals.
So the PropTech market is globalizing at the formation layer, but scale capital is still concentrated in whichever region produces the largest platform round. Geographic diversification is real, but capital leadership remains fragile and outlier-driven.

Is PropTech capital moving toward proven winners or new opportunities?
PropTech capital is still moving primarily toward proven winners, even though more new opportunities are appearing. In year-to-date 2026, first financings were about 42% of deals but only about 8% of capital. New opportunities are numerous, but proven or follow-on companies still absorb the overwhelming majority of dollars.
The same pattern appears in full-year 2025. First financings were about 28% of deals but only 1.6% of capital. In 2024, first financings were only 13% of deals and 1.3% of capital. Startup formation is rising, but the capital share going to first financings remains low.
Stage mix confirms the same pattern. In year-to-date 2026, Seed rounds accounted for 65% of deals but only 13% of capital. Series B and later accounted for a much smaller share of deals but 74% of capital.
The PropTech market has a two-speed capital allocation model. New opportunities are being funded through small seed checks, especially in AI-native data, brokerage, leasing, and workflow software. Proven winners receive the large checks because investors still want evidence of budget ownership, recurring usage, operational embedding, and category leadership.
Is the PropTech market becoming winner-takes-most?
The PropTech market is not fully winner-takes-most by company count, but it is winner-takes-most by capital. In year-to-date 2026, the largest deal captured about 52% of all capital, the top 3 captured about 65%, the top 5 captured about 76%, and the bottom half captured only about 5.5%.
The 2025 full-year comparison was slightly less concentrated at the top than 2024 by some measures, but still highly concentrated. In 2024, the top 1 deal captured about 39% of capital, the top 3 captured 63%, and the top 5 captured 75%. In 2025, the top 1 captured about 23%, the top 3 captured 57%, and the top 5 captured 66%.
However, the bottom half’s share fell from 7.9% in 2024 to 4.7% in 2025, which means the long tail became even more capital-starved. Year-to-date 2026 then moved back toward stronger top-end concentration because Mews dominates the period.
The right conclusion is that many PropTech companies are getting funded, but only a few are heavily funded. For fundraising analysis, the bottom half of deals is more representative of normal conditions. For market-size headlines, the top 3 deals dominate the story.
Is the next wave of PropTech winners becoming visible?
Yes, the next wave of PropTech winners is becoming visible, but the signal is clearer around categories and workflow types than around most individual companies. The strongest recurring pattern is that large checks go to companies that own operational workflows: property management, leasing automation, hospitality operations, access and building control, tax appeals, asset intelligence, transaction infrastructure, and real-estate operating systems.
The likely winner profile is not a PropTech company with AI branding. The likely winner profile is a company that can become a recurring system of record or decision layer for owners, operators, brokers, managers, or buildings. Mews, Entrata, Vantaca, EliseAI, DoorLoop, Hostaway, Guesty, Findigs, Visitt, Ownwell, Dwelly, and Stake all fit some version of that pattern.
The year-to-date 2026 formation wave shows where the next generation is trying to emerge. Real Estate Data Tools had 8 deals, and Real Estate Brokerage Software had 9 deals. Many of these companies are using AI to attack fragmented workflows such as title search, property records, lease abstraction, agent workflow, transaction diligence, real-estate intelligence, and property search.
So the next wave is visible as a thesis, not yet fully proven as a roster. Seed-stage AI data tools and brokerage tools are numerous, but only a few will likely earn the platform-scale rounds that PMS and leasing systems have already attracted.
As this chart shows, and as featured in our Prop Tech market deck, search interest in proptech has been climbing steadily
Is the PropTech funding landscape fragmenting or consolidating?
The PropTech funding landscape is fragmenting by deal count and consolidating by capital. Year-to-date 2026 has 31 deals, up sharply from 12 over the comparable 2025 period, and those deals are spread across six categories and five active regions.
Capital tells the opposite story. One year-to-date 2026 round accounts for about 52% of all dollars, the top 3 account for about 65%, and the bottom half accounts for only about 5.5%. That is consolidation: the money is clustering around very few companies, even while the number of funded startups expands.
The full-year 2025 versus 2024 comparison shows the same dual structure. Deal count rose from 23 to 32, and first financings rose from 13% to 28% of deals, which points to fragmentation. But late-stage and growth rounds still captured more than 81% of capital in 2025, and the top 10 deals captured about 84% of dollars, which points to consolidation.
The best way to read the PropTech market is as a fragmented experimentation layer sitting underneath a consolidated capital layer. Investors are trying many new AI-native wedges with small checks, but they are concentrating large checks into companies that look like durable operating systems or workflow monopolies.
For more on the funding structure, see the deeper analysis of the PropTech market.
Where is investor attention shifting in the PropTech market?
Investor attention in the PropTech market is shifting toward AI-enabled operating workflows, property-management systems, brokerage and transaction software, and real-estate data infrastructure. The clearest year-to-date 2026 deal-count shift is toward Real Estate Brokerage Software and Real Estate Data Tools, which together represent 17 of 31 deals.
Investor dollars, however, are still centered on Property Management Systems. PMS captured about 61% of year-to-date 2026 capital and about 47% of full-year 2025 capital. This shows that attention is spreading across AI-native data and transaction tools, but the largest checks still go to operating systems that manage properties, hospitality assets, rentals, residents, payments, and recurring workflows.
Regional attention is also shifting. The Middle East and Asia-Pacific are much more visible in year-to-date 2026 by deal count, while Europe is much more visible by capital because of Mews and Dwelly. North America remains important, but it no longer dominates the freshest deal count or capital share in the way it did over the comparable 2025 period.
The strongest overall interpretation is that investor attention is shifting from broad PropTech narratives toward specific budget-owning workflows. AI matters when it improves leasing decisions, property management, owner/operator productivity, transaction certainty, energy performance, tax savings, or revenue management. The market is not funding novelty; it is funding measurable operating leverage.

INSIGHTS
The insights below come from reviewing disclosed equity funding activity in the PropTech market from January 2024 through year-to-date 2026, with a focus on deal count, capital concentration, category mix, stage mix, geography, and investor participation.
- The PropTech market is expanding by activity but not by typical round size. Year-to-date 2026 deal count is more than 2.5x the comparable 2025 period, while median round size fell from $29M to $5M, which means the funding recovery is real but shallow for most companies.
- The market’s strongest contradiction is that startup formation is rising while capital concentration is also rising. First financings are about 42% of year-to-date 2026 deals, but the largest round still absorbs about 52% of all capital.
- Property Management Systems have become the capital sink of PropTech. The category repeatedly captures the largest share of dollars because system-of-record products can justify platform-scale underwriting.
- Real Estate Data Tools are the clearest formation category but not yet a capital-validation category. Eight year-to-date 2026 data-tool deals produced only about $35M, which means investors are testing many AI and data wedges but not yet assigning them large platform value.
- Real Estate Brokerage Software is reappearing as a fundable category because AI and transaction infrastructure give it a new narrative. The category’s year-to-date 2026 deal count is high, but its median deal remains low, so the category is gaining attention before it has proven scaled capital pull.
- Building Operations Systems have the weakest current signal despite the strategic importance of energy, access, and building performance. The drop from 3 comparable-period 2025 deals to 1 year-to-date 2026 deal suggests that much of this activity may be happening outside strict PropTech labels or is not converting into disclosed equity rounds.
- The best predictor of large PropTech rounds is workflow ownership, not category label. PMS, leasing decisioning, hospitality operations, property tax, and property operations companies raise larger checks when they control recurring workflows rather than merely provide insights.
- AI is becoming a default feature in PropTech, not a sufficient investment thesis. The strongest companies use AI to automate a budgeted process; weaker signals appear where AI is attached to broad discovery, intelligence, or marketing claims without clear workflow control.
- The market is more global at the seed layer than at the growth layer. The Middle East and Asia-Pacific show many year-to-date 2026 deals, but Europe and North America still capture most of the larger rounds.
- Europe’s capital leadership in year-to-date 2026 is fragile because it depends heavily on Mews. Without Mews, Europe would still be active, but it would not look like the overwhelming global capital center.
- North America remains the most balanced institutional PropTech market even after losing capital share. Its year-to-date 2026 median round size of about $14M is much higher than Asia-Pacific or the Middle East, which indicates deeper institutional support.
- The Middle East is becoming a real PropTech formation region rather than a one-off funding market. Its year-to-date 2026 activity spans leasing, data, investment, tokenization, sales optimization, and rental revenue management.
- Asia-Pacific’s signal is broad but early. Seven year-to-date 2026 deals and only about $24M of capital suggest significant local experimentation but limited late-stage platform formation.
- The apparent market recovery should be discounted whenever it is expressed only in total capital. Excluding rounds above $50M, year-to-date 2026 funding falls from about $576M to about $276M, which is a more realistic picture of ordinary market depth.
- The PropTech market’s long tail is capital-starved. In year-to-date 2026, the bottom half of deals captures only about 5.5% of capital, and in 2025 the bottom half captured only about 4.7%, confirming that many companies are funded but few are heavily funded.
- The median round is the best health indicator for ordinary PropTech startups. The year-to-date 2026 median of $5M is far less bullish than the $576M total capital headline.
- First financings are rising, but they are not yet changing the capital structure. First financings moved from 13% of deals in 2024 to 28% in 2025 and 42% in year-to-date 2026, but they still receive a small minority of capital.
- Later-stage capital remains the market’s center of gravity. Even in a seed-heavy year-to-date 2026 period, Series B and later companies still capture about 74% of funding.
- Repeat-investor activity is weaker than capital concentration. The market has many strong investor names, but very few investors appear more than once in a given year or year-to-date window, which means capital concentration is company-led rather than investor-club-led.
- Strategic real-estate investors are a major credibility signal. JLL Spark, RET Ventures, AvalonBay, Equity Residential, Property Finder, Mubadala-linked capital, Blackstone, and real-estate operating companies matter because PropTech adoption is distribution-constrained.
- The strongest companies reduce measurable operating friction. Products tied to leasing decisions, AP automation, property tax appeals, building controls, hospitality operations, access, maintenance, or property management are easier to underwrite than broad real-estate intelligence tools.
- Mixed debt and equity rounds are a recurring source of overstatement. Flent, Truva, Ownwell, Dwelly, Runwise, and Nawy show that headline financing numbers can materially overstate equity appetite if debt is not separated.
- The most useful rule for reading future PropTech announcements is to separate capital evidence from formation evidence. A new seed round shows experimentation; a large Series B or growth round shows market validation; the two should not be treated as the same signal.

OUR METHODOLOGY TO BUILD THIS TRACKER
We built this PropTech funding tracker by reviewing publicly disclosed equity rounds raised by pure-play PropTech companies from January 2024 through year-to-date 2026. A company counts as pure-play when more than 80% of its activity is dedicated to technology products that materially improve how real-estate assets are operated, managed, leased, transacted, or used for asset-level decision-making.
We applied four filters to build the dataset. First, we only included equity rounds, so grants, debt-only facilities, acquisitions, structured financings, and business combinations were excluded. Second, we only counted disclosed rounds of $300K or more. Third, we only kept companies whose primary activity fits the PropTech definition, excluding construction technology, generic real-estate fintech or insurtech, and consumer smart-home electronics not tied to operating or transacting property. Fourth, every included entry had to be confirmed by a direct company announcement, press release, tier-1 media report, specialized industry source, investor announcement, or relevant regional publication.
When a source disclosed a mixed debt and equity financing, only the equity component was counted when the equity amount was separately identifiable. Undisclosed-amount rounds were excluded because including them would distort dollar-based metrics such as total capital, average round size, category share, stage share, and regional share. Privately raised rounds that were never publicly announced are necessarily missing, which is a known limitation of any public-only funding tracker.
