Smart Bricks Raises $5M in Pre-Seed Led by Andreessen Horowitz

Dubai-based AI real estate startup Smart Bricks has raised $5 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz, as investor interest grows around technologies designed to automate and accelerate property investment decisions.

The round also included participation from venture funds and angel investors across the United States, Europe and the Middle East. The company did not disclose its valuation.

Smart Bricks is developing artificial intelligence systems that analyse large volumes of real estate data, assess investment opportunities and automate elements of the transaction process for investors operating across multiple markets. The platform is positioned to support cross-border property investment by reducing manual workflows and enabling faster evaluation of assets.

The funding comes amid a broader push within the real estate sector to deploy AI-driven tools that streamline underwriting, due diligence and deal execution. By focusing on automation and data-led analysis, Smart Bricks aims to shorten decision timelines and improve visibility for investors managing diversified, multi-market portfolios.
