ScyAI, a Zurich-based PropTech startup, has closed a €2 million pre-seed round to develop its solution to make AI-powered risk intelligence accessible to companies with large real estate portfolios.

The round was led by AENU and co-led by PT1, also attracting unicorn founders including David Helgason (Unity), Maex Ament and Philip Stehlik (Taulia, Centrifuge), investing through Anti Ordinary Ventures, as well as Bela Lainck, Robert Levenhagen, Christoph Aufmhof, and Stefanie Gerhart through the angel investor alliance better ventures.

“Physical risks are becoming a core operational and financial issue for companies,” says Bernhard Rannegger, founder and CEO of ScyAI. “Our mission is to make these risks measurable, understandable, and controllable, so that enterprise risk and insurance teams can make better decisions and evolve from a cost center to a strategic resilience capital allocator.”

“We are excited to back ScyAI as they build the next generation of AI-native risk management. The combination of strong technical ambition, clear customer ROI, and a massive global market makes this a compelling opportunity, “says Robert Stoecker, Partner at AENU.​

“We are excited to join ScyAI’s pre-seed round as climate risk starts to redefine how real assets are insured and managed. ScyAI enables companies to precisely quantify climate exposure and risk, providing critical infrastructure for a more resilient built world. The team’s exceptional founder–market fit gives us strong conviction in their ability to lead this emerging category,” says Fabian König, Investment Manager at PT1.

“ScyAI has what is rare in this category: genuine insurance DNA plus product delivery. The team is not building another climate analysis tool, but rather decision-making tools that really work in risk and insurance teams. That is precisely why we believe that ScyAI can set a new benchmark here and shape the market,” says Tina Dreimann, founder and managing director of better ventures.
