Proptech Startup Smart Bricks Raises $5 Million in Pre Seed Funding

Smart Bricks has raised $5 million in a pre seed funding round led by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. The round also saw tech participation from South Loop Ventures, Cornerstone VC, Techstars, and angel investors from OpenAI, Airbnb, Anthropic, Blackstone, and DeepMind.

Founded in 2024 by Mohamed Mohamed, Smart Bricks is an AI powered real estate intelligence platform designed to help investors identify, analyze, and execute high quality property investments. Mohamed previously worked with global institutions including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey, where he gained experience using advanced data systems and analytical tools for real estate decision making.

According to the founder, individual and smaller institutional investors often lack access to the same level of technology used by large financial firms. Real estate decisions are frequently made using fragmented data, manual processes, and disconnected systems, which increases risk and slows execution.

Smart Bricks aims to address this gap by providing an end to end intelligence layer for real estate investing. The platform analyzes millions of public and proprietary data points related to pricing, transaction history, liquidity, supply, and financing. It uses automated valuation models, cash flow forecasting, downside risk analysis, and market reasoning to project potential deal outcomes rather than simply listing available properties.

In addition to deal analysis, the platform supports the full transaction workflow. Smart Bricks uses AI agents to automate tasks that typically require weeks of work from brokers, analysts, and legal teams. After a transaction is completed, the system continues to monitor asset performance, update valuations, simulate refinancing scenarios, and recommend actions based on changing market conditions.

Mohamed said the latest generation of proptech must focus on improving decision making and execution rather than just digitizing listings. He added that the company is building infrastructure that allows real estate to function more like modern financial markets through continuous intelligence and automation.

The funding will be used to expand Smart Bricks into additional markets and further develop its technology platform. The company currently operates in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the UAE.

Smart Bricks is also part of Andreessen Horowitz’s Speedrun accelerator program. The founder met the a16z team while exhibiting at TechCrunch Disrupt, where the startup was still operating quietly before the investment helped accelerate its growth
