Funding the future of innovation in PropTech
For over a decade, Lyonheart has partnered with visionary entrepreneurs and management teams looking to transform the landscape of property management technologies. Our mission is to identify and support innovative startups that have the potential to transform the PropTech landscape and create significant value for investors and society.
Spend enough time reading venture capital firm websites and they all start sounding the same. However, that doesn’t mean all capital is created equal. Lyonheart is committed to delivering sustainable, long-term returns to our investors while promoting positive environmental and social impact. If you share our passion, we invite you to join us in our mission to drive positive change through innovative investment.
PropTech (short for property technology) encompasses all of the tools real estate businesses and professionals use to optimize the way people buy, sell, research, market, and manage properties.
As an industry term, PropTech is assimilating those that came before it—Real Estate Tech, Retech, Realtech, CRE Tech…all prior efforts to encompass the alignment of real estate and technology.
As a market, PropTech is expected to grow from $18.2 billion in 2022 to $86.5 billion in 2032 with a CAGR of 16.8% over the ten year term.
At Lyonheart, we carefully select companies that are disrupting the status quo to create innovative solutions for the array of challenges that face the real estate industry today, tomorrow, and in the years to come.
Lyonheart focuses on growth and buy-out investments in all aspects of the PropTech marketplace. Our approach focuses on identifying companies with high growth potential, a strong management team, and a sustainable business model. We work closely with our portfolio companies to provide the support and resources they need to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
We typically acquire significant minority or controlling interest stakes, enabling us to stay
actively involved in the creation of winning business strategies, strong management teams, optimized capital structures, while leveraging the Lyonheart ecosystem to maximize growth and drive exit opportunities.
We look for the following characteristics in our potential partners:
- PropTech market leadership
- High growth potential
- Proven or disruptive business models
- Clear exit strategy
