The team has created a central hub for property data, which is helping property professionals to more easily find sites matched to their needs”—Kim Jackson, founder of Skip Capital.
Purpose of investment: The current round of investment would help Archistar.ai to increase the size of its expert team and forge partnerships internationally.

About Archistar.ai:
Archistar.ai was founded in 2010 by Benjamin Coorey and Robert Coorey. It essentially leverages AI technology to find development sites, assess their feasibility and suggest architectural designs.
Its business model is primarily based on two main problem statements:-
Firstly, with the passage of time, there is bound to be greater demand for well-designed living and workspaces. According to the estimates of Autodesk, by 2050 over 13,000 buildings will have to be constructed all over the world on a daily basis. And in meeting this demand innovative platforms like Archistar.ai can be helpful.
Secondly, in traditional property development, changes to the design are usually tackled in the middle of the property development process. This, according to the company, prevents major beneficial changes and can increase the development costs manifolds. Archistar.ai on the other hand enables developers to handle almost all of their design work at the beginning of the development process, enabling them to make significant cost cuts.
Since its launch, Archistar.ai has witnessed excellent growth in its revenues. It has garnered contracts with state governments and its platform is used by leading property developers.
What the CEO has to say:
“Our vision has always been to transform the way cities are designed, assessed and built, and we’re pleased to say that we are achieving this as more property professionals and governments are increasingly embracing our digital tools. Our highly scalable, world-first technology, is transforming the efficiency of every step in the property development journey for our partners” —Benjamin Coorey, co-founder and CEO of Archistar.ai.
