Based in Denver, Colorado, LandGate operates as a data intelligence platform and online marketplace for commercial land and its associated resources. The company was established in 2016 by co-founders Craig Kaiser, Yoann Hispa, and Dan McCue. Kaiser, the company's President, has a background in the energy and natural resource sectors, including owning a mining company and holding executive roles at exploration firms. He holds a BSc. in Geosciences from Chadron State College and an MSc. in Geology from the Colorado School of Mines. The founders' initial goal was to address the high cost and inaccessibility of data related to land resources, starting with oil and gas and expanding to renewables like solar and wind.
LandGate provides a SaaS-driven platform that serves investors, developers, real estate professionals, and property owners. The business model is centered around providing data solutions for site selection, development, financing, and market analysis for a variety of projects, including data centers, energy storage, solar, wind, and carbon capture. Revenue is generated through subscription-based access to its data and analytics tools, known as the PowerTools Suite. This suite includes PowerCRM for tracking land development leads, PowerParcels for accessing landowner contact information, PowerData for analytics on land resources and infrastructure, and PowerLeads for connecting with active listings. Additionally, the company offers LandApp, a tool for real estate agents that provides valuations, map creation tools, and ownership information.
The company's core offering is a marketplace that connects landowners with developers and investors for transactions related to land, minerals, water rights, and renewable energy leases. By offering free property reports, LandGate encourages landowners to list their assets on the marketplace, which in turn generates exclusive leads for developers and investors. The platform utilizes proprietary algorithms to provide valuations and risk assessments for various land resources, such as solar lease payments, farm lease values, and carbon credit potential. This data-centric approach allows clients to conduct due diligence and accelerate the process of site analysis and acquisition. Since its founding, LandGate has secured significant funding, including a Series A round in 2019 from Rice Investment Group and a Series B round in 2022 from NextEra Energy and Kimmeridge, to support its growth and platform development.
