Cambio announced its public launch and $18 million in Series A funding

Cambio announced its public launch and $18 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Maverick Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator, Adverb Ventures, Peterson Ventures and angel investors, including executives from Procore, OpenAI, Anthropic, Vanta, Vercel, ServiceNow, Notion, and Amplitude.

To support rapid growth, Cambio has added four senior leaders. Lizzie Leon (formerly Goldman Sachs) joins Cambio as Head of Product Innovation after working closely with Cambio as a client. She is joined by: Katerina Kaimakamis (formerly Oxford Properties Group and CBRE) as European Business Lead, Laura Willet (formerly BGO) as Canadian Business Lead, and Matthew Lobach (formerly Hersha Hospitality Trust, NYSE: HT) as Head of Partner Operations & Strategy. Their combined expertise in managing over $400 billion of commercial real estate globally reinforces Cambio’s ability to scale worldwide.

“For years, owners have been buried in thousands of pages of unstructured building data, with no practical way to drive insights,” said Leia de Guzman, Co-Founder. “Large language models finally make that data usable at scale. Cambio applies agentic AI to transform compliance and capital planning from a static reporting obligation into a continuously learning decision engine.” “Our investor-centric lens is what sets us apart,” added Stephanie Grayson, Co-Founder. “We built Cambio to answer investor-grade questions: where to deploy capital, which assets to prioritise, and how to maximise returns while meeting regulatory requirements, without adding operational burden.”

“Through our partnership with Cambio, we use AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) not just to extract data from utility bills and building assessments, but also to drive investment-grade decarbonisation at scale,” said Jennifer McConkey, Managing Director at Principal Real Estate, who manages over $100 billion of real estate globally. “Cambio’s models assess building performance, identify retrofit potential, and generate capex strategies–helping us prioritise high-impact actions that accelerate decarbonization and deliver returns.”

“Just as AI has radically rearchitected healthcare and legal workflows, Cambio is redefining how the multi-trillion-dollar real estate sector operates,” said Ryan Isono, Managing Director at Maverick Ventures. “Leia and Stephanie have unrivalled founder-market fit, having faced these pain points firsthand. It’s evident in Cambio’s rapid growth, stellar customer base, and the talented team they’ve already brought together at an early stage.”
