Open Letter to CEOs of large Real Estate firms: “If you don’t see it, there is not much we can do…”

There is currently a huge investment opportunity in the field of PropTech, and innovations in the real estate industry… This fact should not be ignored.

5 years ago, it was too early. In 5 years, it will probably be too late. This is a unique opportunity.

Four years ago, we launched RELEVATION because we were convinced that PropTech represented a unique investment opportunity. Today, RELEVATION is an investment summit where 350 proptech founders raising capital meet 150 of the world’s largest investors. It’s not about closing deals directly, but about identifying attractive investment opportunities and building meaningful relationships.

This is not only an incredible business opportunity, but also an industry responsibility. These investments can potentially generate significant financial returns (outpacing traditional real estate activity according to pitchbook) but PropTech is also the best way to develop an agility strategy and increase one’s innovation maturity. Moreover, these founders are continuously innovating to solve construction and real estate related problems, as well as environmental and societal impacts related to the built world. As such, they deserve the support of major players like you.

With RELEVATION, we have designed an experience that allows you to filter deals, to engage with those that are most relevant to you (synergies, geography, asset classes, etc). Access to (good) deals has never been easier.

We hope to see you at RELEVATION,

PS: There are currently 32 UrbanTech venture capital funds in Europe. The majority of them are in the process of raising capital. If you want to allocate funds to a venture capital fund, we can put you in touch with the right people.

— Idriss Goossens, CEO at RELEVATION
