Smart Bricks, an AI company focused on real-estate investing, has raised a US$5 million pre-seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz’s a16z Speedrun, with participation from funds and angel investors across the US, Europe, and the Middle East.

Founded in 2024, the company builds agentic AI systems that automate how investors identify, analyse, and transact real estate.

Its platform applies autonomous reasoning to sourcing, valuation, underwriting, due diligence, and execution, reducing processes that typically take months to a matter of minutes.

Smart Bricks aggregates more than one million public and proprietary data feeds to assess factors such as pricing, liquidity, regulation, and risk across global markets.

Using this data, the system ranks investment opportunities and surfaces a small subset of assets based on expected risk-adjusted returns, while automating most operational workflows associated with transactions.

“Global real estate is one of the largest asset classes in the world, yet most investors still rely on fragmented data and manual processes,”

said Mohamed Mohamed, Founder and CEO of Smart Bricks.

“Institutions have sophisticated tools; everyone else largely does not. Our aim is to close that gap.”

The platform serves both retail and institutional investors deploying capital in markets including Dubai, London, New York, Miami, and major US cities.

Smart Bricks positions itself as infrastructure rather than a marketplace or brokerage.
