PriceHubble

PriceHubble AG operates as a business-to-business (B2B) proptech company, developing digital solutions for the real estate and financial industries by leveraging big data and artificial intelligence. The firm was founded in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2016 by Dr. Stefan Heitmann, Markus Stadler, and Olivier Bachem. The founding vision aimed to address the lack of transparency in real estate markets by providing data-driven products to facilitate better decisions. Heitmann, with a background in law, economics, and as a former partner at McKinsey & Company, had previously founded the mortgage platform MoneyPark. Stadler, a graduate of engineering mathematics, came from a management consultancy background. This combination of experience in finance, real estate, and data analytics shaped the company's direction.

The company's core business revolves around a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that generates revenue through subscriptions. This platform offers a suite of products for real estate and financial professionals, including banks, asset managers, developers, real estate agents, and insurance companies. PriceHubble's services are designed to support players across the entire real estate value chain. The offerings include real-time property valuations, market analyses, value forecasts, and predictive insights, all powered by machine learning algorithms and proprietary data. A key differentiator is the company's focus on "explainable AI," which aims to make its valuation models transparent rather than a black box. The platform collects and analyzes extensive data related to residential real estate, such as transaction data, listings, urban amenities, and socio-economic factors, to create one of the largest proprietary real estate databases in its operating markets.

PriceHubble's product suite includes tools for various business needs. The recently launched 'AI Agent Suite' features a 'Companion' for client engagement, a 'Copilot' to automate workflow tasks, and an 'Analyst' for market research. Other solutions enable lead generation, support mortgage and insurance decisions, and provide portfolio management tools. Clients can integrate these insights seamlessly into their own services via APIs or use the company's dashboards. Since its inception, PriceHubble has expanded internationally, establishing a presence in countries across Europe and Asia, including France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. This growth has been fueled by several funding rounds, including a significant Series B round of $34 million in July 2021, and strategic acquisitions of companies like Realtify, Dataloft, and Urbanease to strengthen its market position.
