Smart Bricks

Smart Bricks is an applied AI company building what it describes as an intelligence layer for global real estate investing. Its platform applies agentic AI and proprietary real estate models to discovery, underwriting, execution and portfolio monitoring: autonomous deal agents scan markets and initiate underwriting, underwriting agents run risk modelling across more than 1,000 variables per opportunity, execution agents handle diligence, documentation, transaction coordination and capital deployment, and portfolio intelligence agents track performance, macro shifts and exit signals. The company states it ingests over one million proprietary and public data feeds covering historical transactions, rental trends, demographic shifts and micro-market movements, and surfaces the top 0.1% of properties by expected risk-adjusted return while automating up to 99% of the transaction workflow from valuation through negotiation, financing and post-transaction support.

Alongside the investment platform, Smart Bricks operates a brokerage-style service in Dubai for property sellers, combining proprietary valuation tools, listing and marketing distribution, buyer matching, negotiation support, and coordination with the Dubai Land Department, banks and developers, with sellers tracking listing performance through a Smart Bricks dashboard. Internally, Smart Bricks Labs maintains the data infrastructure, model stack and learning systems behind the platform's valuations, rankings and recommendations, including computer-vision models that classify room types and assess property condition from listing photos, and dynamic yield and ROI scoring that factors in rental supply/demand, capital appreciation probability, gentrification signals and policy or infrastructure impacts.

Founding story

Smart Bricks was founded in 2024 by Mohamed Mohamed, who serves as Founder and CEO. Before starting the company he led AI, strategy and investment work at Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company, advising governments, investment funds and financial institutions, and earlier worked as an investor at Blackstone and Goldman Sachs and as a venture investor at Atomico and Greycroft. He is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and an angel investor in 30+ startups. Cento Ventures lists Mohamed Mohamed, Dr Dawood Khan and Mosaab Tawfiq as founders.

Business model

Smart Bricks positions itself as an AI infrastructure layer for real estate investing rather than a marketplace or broker network, delivering ranked opportunities, real-time intelligence and execution workflows to investors. It also offers transaction services in Dubai, including end-to-end sales support and advisory for property sellers.

Traction

The company states it has 3x'd ROI for retail and institutional customers and publishes AI prediction model performance comparisons for the Dubai, London and New York markets. Cento Ventures reports over US$10 billion in assets under management across Smart Bricks' clients. Platform coverage currently spans the United States, United Kingdom and UAE.

Latest developments

In February 2026 Smart Bricks announced a $5 million pre-seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz's a16z speedrun, with participation from funds and angels across the US, Europe and the Middle East; proceeds are earmarked for expanding platform infrastructure into markets beyond the US, UK and UAE and for further product development. The same month it received the Rapid Impact Award at the Global PropTech & ConTech Awards and won a 2026 SXSW startup competition.
