London based GoCanopy has secured €2.1 million in seed funding to accelerate the development of its AI-powered operating system for institutional real estate investors. The oversubscribed round was led by ISAI, with participation from BNP Paribas Développement, Yellow, and several angel investors. The financing marks a significant milestone for the young company as it seeks to modernise how investment teams manage the vast amounts of unstructured data that drive real estate decisions.
Bringing Order to Fragmented Real Estate Data
Institutional real estate investment teams manage large, complex portfolios where critical information is dispersed across emails, spreadsheets, offering memoranda, rent rolls, legal documents, and internal reports. This fragmentation creates delays, limits visibility, and restricts the ability to build an institutional memory from historical transactions and asset performance. As investment pipelines expand and assets become more operationally intensive, the lack of a structured system of record can constrain decision-making.
GoCanopy aims to solve this problem with a centralised platform powered by human-in-the-loop AI, capable of extracting and structuring information from a wide range of internal documents. The platform breaks down data silos by converting unstructured files into searchable, machine-readable intelligence tailored to the workflows of real estate investment teams.
Founded in 2023 by William He and Yash Pabbisetti, the company is developing institutional-grade AI designed specifically for the sector, with the goal of enabling teams to act faster and unlock new value from historical data that is often underused.
An Operating System for Real Estate Investors
GoCanopy’s platform supports key investment and asset management workflows, from the earliest stages of deal review to ongoing portfolio operations. For acquisition teams, the system can streamline deal screening, populate underwriting models more quickly, and assist in preparing documents for investment committees. For asset managers, it helps track lease expiries, monitor rent reviews, surface leasing opportunities, and consolidate performance reporting.
All insights generated by the platform are fully traceable to their source documents, ensuring compliance with institutional governance standards and giving teams confidence in the underlying data. This transparency is designed to support faster yet more controlled decision-making across investment and asset management functions.
Co-founder and CEO William He noted that his own experience in real estate investing revealed how much value is lost due to scattered information. He explained that recent advances in AI make it possible to build a single, evolving institutional knowledge base that captures learnings from every deal and asset.
Backing Expansion Across Europe
The new capital will enable GoCanopy to expand its engineering and commercial teams, build new enterprise features, and grow its presence across Europe. Although the company already maintains a presence in Paris, it plans to open a London office as part of its next phase of growth, positioning itself closer to some of the largest real estate investment markets and customers.
The funding also comes at a moment when AI adoption in real estate is accelerating, driven by increasing portfolio complexity and the need for higher-quality, more timely data to support investment decisions. GoCanopy’s vision is to become the operating system of choice for institutional real estate firms seeking to modernise their processes and build durable competitive advantages through structured intelligence.
Driving the Next Era of Real Estate Decision-Making
With this seed round, GoCanopy enters a new phase of development, aiming to embed AI deeply into the workflows of real estate investors. By transforming fragmented data into actionable insights and creating a shared institutional memory, the company believes it can help investment teams move faster and more confidently in an increasingly competitive market.
