Company profile
researched Aug 2026Giraffe360 is a proptech company that combines a proprietary 360° robotic camera with AI-powered cloud software to produce complete property marketing media for real estate listings. A single capture of a property records high-resolution HDR imagery, 360° panoramas and LiDAR-based spatial data, which the platform processes into HDR photos, measurement-accurate 2D and 3D floor plans, virtual tours, videos, point-cloud/3D models and a hosted single-listing property website.
The software layer, marketed as Content Studio, applies automated editing and AI enhancements including virtual staging, room clear-out and redecoration, blue-sky replacement, object and camera removal, and privacy blurring, alongside manual editing controls; outputs are formatted for MLSs, portals and social channels. A separate module, Listing Spotlight, generates off-portal marketing assets such as social templates, email and print flyers, and the property website from the same capture. The camera is described as capturing 10k HDR stills and 10k HDR panoramas together with a dense point-cloud geometry map, with a newer PRO Camera generation adding Gaussian-splat 3D models, scan view coverage feedback, LiDAR 2.0 accuracy and an auto-height tripod for dual-height scans.
The company was founded in 2016 in Riga, Latvia by brothers Mikus Opelts (CEO) and Madars Opelts (COO) and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It has raised venture equity and venture debt from investors including Founders Fund, Cipio Partners, Hoxton Ventures, LAUNCHub Ventures, Change Ventures, HCVC (Hardware Club) and Columbia Lake Partners.
Founding story
Giraffe360 was founded in 2016 in Riga, Latvia by brothers Mikus Opelts and Madars Opelts, with Mikus Opelts as CEO and Madars Opelts as COO.
Business model
Giraffe360 operates a hardware-enabled subscription (hardware-as-a-service) model: customers subscribe to a plan that bundles the camera with the Content Studio processing software, unlimited projects under a fair-usage cap, AI tools, cloud storage and Listing Spotlight, rather than buying the device outright. Single-operator plans start from $360 per month with fair usage of up to 60 projects per camera per month, and multi-camera enterprise packages are sold through a direct sales team.
Recurring monthly subscription fees per camera covering device access, AI image processing software, cloud storage and related services, with tiered single-operator and enterprise multi-camera packages.
Traction
The company reports more than 10,000 real estate professionals as users and states that its Content Studio renders over 1,000 properties per day. A third-party profile reported 1,000+ customers as of June 2023, including CBRE, Keller Williams, eXp Realty, Strike and RE/MAX. The website cites 131 customer reviews.
Latest developments
In March 2026 Giraffe360 announced a $10 million Series B led by Cipio Partners with participation from existing investors Founders Fund, Hoxton Ventures, LAUNCHub Ventures and Change Ventures, to be used for further development of its AI platform, expansion of tools such as virtual tours and 3D floor plans, and growth in existing and new markets. The current product line features the Giraffe PRO Camera with Gaussian-splat 3D capture, Content Studio and Listing Spotlight, with the company stating meaningful product upgrades every 30 days.

Market position
Giraffe360 competes in real estate listing media capture and virtual tours; press coverage names Matterport as a comparable virtual tour provider serving photographers, and positions Giraffe360's agent-facing subscription as removing the need for a separate photographer in the listing workflow. Its investor Cipio Partners characterised the company as positioned to become a category leader in digital real estate marketing on the basis of its combined hardware, AI automation and software offering.
The offering bundles proprietary capture hardware, AI-driven automated post-production and listing marketing distribution into a single subscription, so that one property visit produces photos, floor plans, tours, video, 3D and a listing website without stitching, outsourcing or multi-tool workflows. The camera is designed for capture in roughly 30 seconds per point, and floor plans are produced to LiDAR-based accuracy suitable for appraisers.
Technology
Proprietary robotic 360° camera hardware integrating a high-specification image sensor, LiDAR laser scanning and robotics, paired with cloud-based AI processing. The camera captures HDR stills and panoramas plus a dense point cloud (cited at 350k data points per second on the standard camera and 750k on the PRO Camera) for true-scale geometry, with LiDAR 2.0 spatial accuracy for ANSI/appraiser-ready floor plans. AI processing handles image enhancement, virtual staging, object and camera removal, sky replacement and privacy blurring, and the PRO generation adds Gaussian-splat 3D models trained on over 600,000 properties. An earlier camera generation, the Giraffe Go Cam, was 30% lighter than its predecessor, charged faster and carried 500 GB of onboard storage.
Go-to-market
Direct subscription sales via the company website with demo bookings and online plan configuration for single operators, plus an enterprise sales team for multi-camera deployments. The site is localised for UK, US, EU, French, German and Spanish audiences, and the platform offers integrations with other listing systems.
Real estate agents, brokerages and estate agency teams, real estate photographers, and adjacent property professionals; the company's sales intake also lists developers, construction, architecture, asset and property management, appraisers, short-term rentals, student housing, proptech platforms and insurance. Reported customers as of June 2023 included CBRE, Keller Williams, eXp Realty, Strike and RE/MAX.
Geography
Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with origins in Riga, Latvia; a US headquarters was established in Miami, Florida in 2023. The website serves UK, US, EU, French, German and Spanish-language markets, and the company describes users worldwide.
History
After its 2016 founding in Riga, the company relocated its headquarters to London. It raised $4.5 million in 2020 in a round led by LAUNCHub Ventures and Hoxton Ventures, then a $16 million round led by Founders Fund in December 2022 alongside $6 million in long-term venture debt from Columbia Lake Partners, at which point it had raised $22 million in equity and $9 million in venture debt in total. Alongside the 2022 raise it launched the Giraffe Go Cam. In April 2023 it made Miami its US headquarters, and in June 2023 it announced an AI property description tool. In March 2026 it closed a $10 million Series B led by Cipio Partners.
