Company profile
researched Aug 2026Built AI develops software positioned as an AI-native operating system for institutional real estate. The product sits on top of a firm's existing systems rather than replacing them, assembling a single knowledge graph across systems of record and documents, running a deterministic calculation engine on that graph, and providing a catalog of agents for tasks such as underwriting, lease abstraction, variance analysis and reporting. Marketed modules span capital (portfolio, funds, investors), operating (assets, leases, models), intelligence (insights, an analyst query interface) and governance (audit log).
Functionality shown in the company's interactive product demo includes a portfolio control center with AUM, net equity, occupancy, NOI, and leverage metrics; levered cashflow and IRR sensitivity models where each cell is cited to a lease, general ledger line or Argus assumption; covenant and variance monitoring with DSCR, LTV and debt-yield tests plus drafted cure options; lease roll schedules with renewal probabilities; AI-generated portfolio insights; a citation-backed analyst assistant; and an audit log recording agent runs, approvals and blocked actions. Stated integrations or data sources referenced in the demo include Yardi, Argus, MRI, CoStar comps, lease abstracts and loan documents.
The company states operating principles of full citation of every output, human approval of any external action, deterministic rather than probabilistic computation, and layering on top of incumbent systems. Deployment options listed are multi- or single-tenant, bring-your-own-model and self-hosting, with claims of no model training on customer data, GDPR alignment and SOC 2 Type II in progress.
Founding story
Built AI was founded in 2020 around the thesis that institutional real estate runs on systems that were never designed to interoperate, leaving portfolio truth spread across models, operational systems and spreadsheets, and forcing firms to pay for reconciliation twice: in analysts who re-key data and in decisions made on stale numbers.
Business model
Enterprise software sold to institutional real estate owners, investors and managers, deployed as multi-tenant, single-tenant or self-hosted environments with a bring-your-own-model option; the site lists a pricing page and a book-a-demo sales motion.
Traction
The website cites more than $148B of cumulative client AUM, more than $100B of property value analyzed, more than 40 firms, and more than 2,000 assets live on the platform.
Latest developments
In December 2025 the company announced a $6M seed round led by Work-Bench, with Lerer Hippeau and Emerald Pine, to expand across the US and UK. The website references a v2.14 product version and SOC 2 Type II certification in progress.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Positions itself as the platform layer for a third re-platforming of institutional real estate technology, following the shifts from paper to spreadsheets and from spreadsheets to ERP systems, sitting above existing systems such as Yardi, Argus and MRI rather than displacing them.
Emphasis on provenance and control: every output cited to a source document, no autonomous external sends (all sends, writes and filings require named human approval), a deterministic computation engine producing identical outputs for identical inputs, and an integration-first approach that leaves incumbent systems in place. Additional differentiators cited are deployment flexibility (single-tenant, bring-your-own-model, self-host) and no model training on customer data.
Technology
A knowledge graph spanning a firm's systems and documents, a deterministic computation engine that runs models and valuations on that graph, and a catalog of AI agents for underwriting, document abstraction, variance analysis and reporting, with citation lineage to source documents such as leases, general ledger lines, loan documents and Argus assumptions, and audit logging of agent runs and approvals.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales with live demonstrations on prospect-like portfolios (book-a-demo), supported by published thesis content, a trust center and press page; the US business is led from New York by the Chief Product Officer and Head of US.
Institutional real estate owner-operators and allocators, including asset management, acquisitions, and finance and investor relations teams at owners, investors and managers.
Geography
Offices in New York and London, serving institutional owners, investors and managers across the US, UK and Europe.
History
The company states it was founded in 2020 and operates from New York and London. In December 2025 it raised a $6M seed round led by Work-Bench with participation from Lerer Hippeau and Emerald Pine, intended to scale the platform across the US and UK.
Risks & controversies
The company states SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress rather than complete. Traction figures and product capability claims are self-reported on the company's own website.
