Giraffe360 raised $10M in a Series B round led by Cipio Partners. The London-based proptech company aims to accelerate development of an AI platform that transforms a single property visit into a complete media package for real estate sales.

One Visit to the Property

The idea behind Giraffe360 is to eliminate unnecessary intermediaries and redundant visits from the real estate marketing process. Instead of a chain involving a photographer, video editor, 3D tour contractor, floor plan specialist, and separate designer, an agent or operator gets a single tool. The company's robotic camera captures the property, and then the AI platform automatically assembles content that would normally need to be ordered piecemeal. For the real estate market, this is more than just convenience: the speed of listing publication directly impacts conversion rates, buyer interest, and deal velocity.

From a single property visit, the platform assembles nearly the entire standard listing package:

  • HDR photography
  • virtual tour
  • 2D and 3D floor plans based on LiDAR
  • video content
  • property website, virtual staging, and social media materials

Behind this lies a stack of more than 50 machine learning models. They handle image stitching, room measurements, virtual interior preparation, and generation of ready-made marketing materials. In essence, the company attempts to compress the entire real estate production process into a single pass: capture once, process automatically, publish faster. This is the thesis on which Giraffe360 builds its value proposition for agencies and photographers who earn through volume and speed, not just the quality of individual frames.

Where the Investment Will Go

The $10M Series B round was led by Cipio Partners. The deal also saw the return of key previous investors, including Founders Fund, Hoxton Ventures, LAUNCHub Ventures, and Change Ventures. For Giraffe360, this represents a continuation of earlier growth: in November 2022, the company already raised $16M in Series A, and total disclosed equity financing now approaches $32M, not counting the venture debt raised back then.

The team will direct the new funding toward developing the AI platform, expanding product capabilities, and entering new markets.

"Real estate marketing is shifting toward AI, immersive formats, and content-dense media," says

Giraffe360 CEO Mikuss Opelts.

The company was founded in 2016 in Riga by brothers Mikuss and Madars Opelts and has since developed its product not as point software, but as a closed-loop infrastructure. This matters because many proptech solutions address only a single task — 3D tours, photography, or floor plans. Giraffe360 sells a bundle: camera, subscription, cloud storage, and automatic post-processing.

This approach is harder to scale, but it provides greater control over data quality and makes the service less dependent on external contractors. The bet here is not just on automation, but on differentiation against major players like Matterport, which long ago dominated the 3D tour niche. Giraffe360 tries to stand out not through a single feature, but through breadth of output: a single data capture should deliver multiple content formats at once, and the subscription model bundles camera access, AI processing, cloud storage, and a service layer.

The company operates in dozens of markets and already serves major real estate clients, including RE/MAX, CBRE, and BNP Paribas Real Estate. This is a significant signal: the product is sold not as an experiment, but as working infrastructure for mass listing.

What This Means

For proptech, this is further confirmation that AI is moving beyond the role of "photo enhancer" and becoming part of the entire sales chain. If Giraffe360 can scale its model, the market will get not individual tools for photos, tours, and floor plans, but a unified system where a single property visit transforms into a ready-made digital storefront. For agencies, this means time savings; for platforms, faster and more standardized content flow.
