Exciting announcement from MetaProp portfolio company BuildOps with the close of their $127M Series C and achievement of unicorn status. We’ve been fortunate to partner with Alok Chanani and his team since the earliest days as they built what is now the largest and most influential commercial trade contractor platform in the world. This milestone reflects the scale of their impact, and we look forward to continuing to support BuildOps in this next phase of growth. #PropTech #VentureCapital #VC #RealEstate

"Words mean something. And I think that word [PropTech] has played a very meaningful part in the industry’s transition from the 20th to 21st century." -Aaron Block, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, MetaProp Aaron recently sat down with Commercial Observer to discuss the evolution of "PropTech"—a term that has helped define how technology is transforming real estate. While its meaning is still debated, there’s no question that it has united entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders around a common vision for innovation. At MetaProp, we’ve seen how this shared language has attracted entrepreneurs, aligned investors, and accelerated innovation in real estate. As AI, automation, and decarbonization continue to reshape the industry, the conversation isn’t just about what we call it—but how we drive the next wave of change.

🏠 Announcing our latest investment in Faura (https://www.faura.us/) As climate disasters become more severe and frequent, insurance companies are retreating en masse from climate-vulnerable regions, leaving millions of homeowners struggling to find coverage. Faura equips insurers with proprietary resilience models that analyze individual structures, pairing them with tailored mitigation plans for homeowners. This enables underwriters and policyholders to make more informed decisions, creating a feedback loop that rewards policyholders with better benefits while reducing insurer losses. We first met Co-Founder and CEO Valkyrie Holmes when she was a participant in our 2024 Accelerator program. At 20 years old, with stints at NASA and SpaceX already under her belt, Valkyrie possesses a rare combination of technical depth and industry insight that takes most founders decades to develop. From the get-go, we recognized her ability to access and convert customers in the complex insurance industry. We're thrilled to join Faura's $3.5M Seed round, co-led by Harlem Capital and Building Ventures, with participation from Triple Five Group and Dorm Room Fund. 🌍 Read MetaProp Director Evan Petitt break down how Faura is building a more resilient world for insurers and homeowners here: https://lnkd.in/gAM4rjmr 📺 Watch Faura's pitch from our 2024 Demo Day here: https://lnkd.in/g3BfyfyP #PropTech #realestate #climatetech #insuretech #insurance #innovation #climate #climaterisk
