Smart Bricks is a Dubai-based company building advanced AI technology for real estate investing. The startup has raised $5 million in a pre-seed funding round, led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z Speedrun), with support from investors and angel backers from the US, Europe, and the Middle East.
Founded in 2024, Smart Bricks aims to change how real estate deals are found, analyzed, and completed. It focuses on using AI to make the entire investment process faster and more efficient.
The company builds autonomous AI systems that can find properties, evaluate their value, and complete transactions on their own. This reduces a process that normally takes three to six months to just a few minutes.
“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.”
“Investors in public markets already expect instant insight, scenario analysis, and AI-driven recommendations,” Mohamed added. “We bring that same level of speed, intelligence, and confidence to global real estate, allowing capital to move with institutional precision across borders.”
“Capital and talent have already gone global; the tooling for real estate investing has not,” Mohamed said. “Smart Bricks is building the intelligence layer that finally allows real estate to operate at the speed, transparency, and scale modern markets demand.”
Smart Bricks collects data from more than one million public and private sources and uses advanced AI to constantly analyze market supply, prices, rules, risks, and liquidity across real estate markets worldwide.
The platform highlights only the top 0.1% of properties with the best risk-adjusted returns and automates up to 99% of the investment process, covering everything from property valuation and checks to negotiations, financing, and support after the deal is completed.
Smart Bricks has received strong recognition in the startup world. It was named one of the Top 200 startups globally by TechCrunch and a Top 20 startup in Europe by Onstage Europe, along with nominations from major proptech and innovation organizations.
The company is backed by well-known investors such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Techstars, 500 Global, Cornerstone VC, South Loop Ventures, Harvard Business School Alumni Angels, and Cento Ventures, along with angel investors from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, Airbnb, and Blackstone. Smart Bricks has also taken part in leading accelerator programs, including Google AI First, Microsoft GrowthX, and NVIDIA Inception.
