GoCanopy has raised €2.1 million in seed funding as it builds an AI software platform for institutional real estate investors.
The startup operates between Paris and London. It works with real estate investment and asset management teams that manage large volumes of documents and data tied to deals, tenants and finances.
ISAI led the funding round. BNP Paribas Développement, Yellow and angel investors also participated. The angel investors included Andrew Baum, University of Oxford Emeritus Professor in Real Estate Investment, and Ludovic Jacquot, CEO of Batipart Europe and ex-Chairman of EMEA Real Estate Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley.
GoCanopy said some of Europe's largest institutional real estate investors already use its platform, including Brookfield and certain Apollo-managed funds.
Data consolidation
Institutional real estate firms often store information across email inboxes, PDFs, spreadsheets and internal systems. That structure can slow work across investment decisions and asset management, particularly when teams change and knowledge sits with individuals.
GoCanopy positions its product as a "single source of truth" built from internal documents. It uses what it describes as Human-in-the-Loop agentic workflows. The platform extracts information from sources such as offering memoranda, rent rolls and asset management reports. It then organises that information inside one system.
The company describes the resulting dataset as an "institutional memory" that strengthens as teams process more deals and assets through the platform. It also says the platform links outputs back to the source documents.
Investment workflows
GoCanopy said the product supports investment teams that need to search and compare information across historic deals. It also said the platform fits into stages that include deal screening, underwriting and investment committee preparation.
The company also targets asset management functions. It said the same underlying dataset can track lease events and support monitoring tasks such as rent reviews. It also said it can surface leasing opportunities from the information already held in internal documents.
GoCanopy competes with other software providers applying AI to real estate workflows. The company cited Built AI as one example.
Founders
GoCanopy was founded in 2023 by William He and Yash Pabbisetti. He previously worked as a real estate investor at Morgan Stanley and Davidson Kempner. Pabbisetti previously worked at Google and at Pointy, which Google acquired.
The founders bootstrapped the business before raising this round. GoCanopy also referenced participation in CentraleSupélec's '21st' impact accelerator.
In a statement, He framed the product around the limits of spreadsheet-led processes and fragmented records inside investment firms.
"Over years spent as a real estate investor at Morgan Stanley and Davidson Kempner, I saw firsthand how data fragmentation blocks revenue. When intelligence is captured and made available across both investment and asset management, it compounds. It can be harnessed to uncover millions in potential revenue opportunities that spreadsheets simply can't reveal," said William He, Co-founder and CEO, GoCanopy.
He also linked the company's approach to recent advances in large language models.
"I built GoCanopy because the first LLMs made it clear that such data fragmentation could finally become a thing of the past. Just as Bloomberg transformed finance, we are creating the system of record for real estate. This is the industry's "Bloomberg moment". We are here to help institutions leverage data that makes up institutional intelligence - something that the majority has yet to seize," said He.
Investor views
ISAI invests in early-stage companies and said it backed GoCanopy on the basis of the founders' sector experience and early adoption by large asset managers.
"At ISAI, we believe the strongest vertical AI companies are built by founders who deeply understand the real operational pain points of their market. GoCanopy is a strong example of this: a team with deep institutional real estate expertise, a product already validated by leading players in the sector, and an AI approach closely aligned with real-world investment and asset management workflows. This positioning enables rapid integration and supports a highly effective land-and-expand growth strategy," said François Collet.
Baum said the current wave of AI marks a turning point for how property professionals work with information.
"Over my career there have been a very small ( 3 or 4) number of points in time at which we knew that innovative technology would change the way we worked. The recent breakthrough AI/LLM is the latest. The real estate industry needs guidance and applied tools or agents that will harness the power of this technology. The combination of domain expertise and engineering in the founding team made it easy for me to want to support GoCanopy," said Baum.
GoCanopy said it plans to expand in London alongside Paris and grow its commercial and engineering teams as it develops the product for international real estate investors.
