GoCanopy, the artificial intelligence platform dedicated to institutional real estate investors, today announced it has raised €2.1 million in seed funding. This round was led by ISAI, with participation from BNP Paribas Développement, Yellow, and business angels, including Andrew Baum, Emeritus Professor of Real Estate Investment at Oxford University, and Ludovic Jacquot, CEO of Batipart Europe and former Chairman of EMEA Real Estate Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley.
At ISAI, we believe that the best vertical AI solutions are built by founders who deeply understand the true operational challenges of their market. GoCanopy is an excellent example of this: a team with very deep expertise in institutional real estate, a product already validated by recognized industry players, and an AI approach closely aligned with business uses. This combination allows for rapid integration into existing workflows and creates the conditions for a particularly effective "land & expand" growth strategy.”

A massive volume of underutilized data in this sector…
Institutional real estate investment teams continuously produce and receive a considerable volume of information from investment opportunities, leases, and asset performance monitoring.
However, this information remains scattered across emails, PDF documents, Excel files, and the teams themselves.
Without a solution to centralize this information and leverage it over time, companies struggle to capitalize on their activity history, which limits both the quality of investment decisions and the efficiency of asset management.
…Which GoCanopy transforms into institutional intelligence and a competitive advantage
The GoCanopy platform serves as a common reference point for institutional real estate teams.
Thanks to artificial intelligence, GoCanopy ingests fragmented internal documents (investment memorandums, transactions, rent rolls, and asset management reports) to transform them into actionable institutional intelligence.
Based on this, GoCanopy automates key analysis and decision-making steps through agentic AI workflows, in both investment and asset management.
This approach allows teams to develop institutional intelligence, independent of individuals, which grows and strengthens over time.
Better investment decisions and more proactive asset management
On the investment side, GoCanopy enables teams to research, compare, and analyze data from past opportunities and transactions. This leads to higher quality and faster decision-making.
Independently, on the asset management side, this same institutional memory fuels more proactive portfolio execution, including lease expiry analysis, rent review tracking, and identification of leasing opportunities. Teams can thus continuously create value across their existing portfolios.
The platform ensures that every piece of information is directly traceable to its source, providing the level of transparency and robustness required for investment committees and board reporting.
A vision born from on-the-ground experience
William He, co-founder and CEO of GoCanopy, states:
“When I was a real estate investor at Morgan Stanley and then Davidson Kempner, I saw firsthand how data fragmentation limited value creation. When intelligence is captured and made accessible for both investment and asset management, each decision enriches the next. It can uncover millions of euros in opportunities that Excel spreadsheets simply cannot identify. I created GoCanopy when the first LLMs clearly showed that this fragmentation could finally be a thing of the past. Like Bloomberg for finance, we are building the reference platform for real estate investors. This is the Bloomberg moment for the industry. We empower institutions to leverage their collective intelligence – a competitive advantage still untapped by most.”
An experienced founding team and rapid market adoption
GoCanopy was founded in 2023 by William He and Yash Pabbisetti. William He spent seven years in private equity real estate investment, notably at Morgan Stanley and Davidson Kempner. Yash Pabbisetti, for his part, developed B2B solutions at Google and Pointy (acquired by Google).
After bootstrapping the company and receiving support from the 21st by CentraleSupélec accelerator, GoCanopy is raising funds to accelerate platform development and support its international expansion. The company has already achieved significant adoption among leading institutional real estate investors, with Brookfield and Apollo among its first clients. It plans to open a London office in addition to Paris, and to strengthen its sales and development teams.
