Smart Bricks Raises $5M Pre-Seed to Build AI-Native Infrastructure for Global Real Estate Investing

Smart Bricks, a Dubai-based company and frontier AI lab focused on real estate investing, has announced the closing of a $5 million pre-seed round, led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z Speedrun), with participation from South Loop Ventures, Cornerstone VC, and Techstars, alongside angel investors from OpenAI, Airbnb, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind.

Founded in 2024, Smart Bricks is re-architecting how real estate is discovered, underwritten, and transacted by deploying agentic AI systems that enable capital to identify, evaluate, and execute real-estate investments end-to-end—compressing timelines that traditionally span three to six months into minutes.

The platform ingests over one million proprietary and public data feeds, continuously analysing pricing, liquidity, supply, regulation, and risk across global markets. It surfaces only the top 0.1% of properties by expected risk-adjusted return, while automating up to 99% of the investment workflow, from valuation and underwriting to due diligence, negotiation, financing, and post-transaction support.

“Global real estate is one of the largest asset classes in the world, yet most individual and cross-border investors are still operating with PDFs, WhatsApp threads, incomplete data, and opaque fees,” said Mohamed Mohamed, Founder and CEO of Smart Bricks. “Institutions have proprietary data, AI underwriting, and integrated execution. Everyone else is effectively flying blind. Smart Bricks closes that gap.”

The newly raised capital will be deployed to expand Smart Bricks’ AI-native product infrastructure and enter new global markets, building on its existing operations in the UK, the US, and the UAE.
