Optiml Closed an €8 Million Seed Round to Pioneer Real Estate Decision Intelligence

Optiml, the ETH Zurich spin‑off defining a software category called Real Estate Decision Intelligence (REDI), has announced it closed an €8 million seed round, co-led by KOMPAS VC and Planet A Ventures, with participation from BitStone Capital, The Bau Ventures, and Innovation Endeavors, alongside leading angel investors from the real‑estate, AI, and investment sectors.

Optiml replaces spreadsheets and static reports with finance‑grade decision‑making and continuous optimization. Built on more than a decade of proprietary research at ETH Zurich, Optiml provides an institutional‑grade decision layer for real estate, helping customers defend NAV and distribution yields, optimize Capex and IRR, and manage transition risks.

“We built REDI because asset and portfolio decision‑makers were at a crossroads with real estate’s most consequential workflows: deciding where capital goes under changing constraints,” said Dr Evan Petkov, Co‑Founder and CEO. “Leaders are turning this complexity into competitive advantage by developing data‑driven, underwriteable strategies that generate alpha while maintaining governance towards investors.”

“Our clients tell us the same thing: ‘this is the decision layer we’ve been missing,'” said Nico Dehnert, MRICS, Co‑Founder and CCO. “They are using Optiml to steer asset values and returns under real constraints and to make decisions they can defend at every level of oversight.”

“We designed our technology for explainability and precision,” said Jordi Campos, Co‑Founder and CTO. “Optiml optimizes irreversible capital decisions under uncertainty while meeting the governance standards demanded by financial institutions.”

The new capital will support Optiml’s growth over the next two years, enabling expansion into new markets, deeper product capabilities and continued definition of Real Estate Decision Intelligence as a global system of action.
