Betatron partners with the PropTech Institute to collaborate with the real estate community

The Betatron Venture Group and the PropTech Institute (PTI) have partnered up to spearhead venture capital investments in the real estate industry.

PTI is an independent, non-profit association representing Asia’s property tech community led by a team of seasoned professionals from the real estate industry. The association seeks to bridge the gap between real estate and technology as well as providing a platform for founders, corporates and investors to drive innovation in the real estate sector.

Investments in prop tech companies globally hit $14 billion in the first half of 2019, representing a more than 300% increase year-on-year.

“Asia with all of its mega cities and high-rise buildings is the place to be for any tech company that looks to innovate in the sector. And with our teams in Hong Kong and Singapore and the newly formed partnership with the Proptech institute, we’re in a prime position to help scale-up companies”, says Matthias Knobloch, Managing Partner and CEO at the Betatron Venture Group.

“By combining PTI’s deep industry knowledge, extensive regional network and Betatron’s expertise, we will be able to drive real change in an industry that is going to transform significantly in the way it operates over the next 5 to 10 years. It is exciting to see how investment in technology will drive further development and value creation in the world’s largest asset class, while we have the opportunity to alleviate some of the most pressing issues facing societies today”, says Alicia Mou, President of PTI.

Together, we look forward to investing in and collaborating with startup companies in the real estate industry.
