RealConnex launched its online platform that connects the real estate ecosystem in one marketplace, allowing investors, lenders, developers, construction companies and other service providers to access professional opportunities in real time. The platform provides a technology-driven alternative to the traditional relationship-based dealmaking process in real estate.
“RealConnex is LinkedIn meets Match.com for real estate dealmaking,” said RealConnex CEO Roy Abrams, who previously was CEO of Pink Software and other companies. “Finding the right partners to provide funding or services is a major challenge for real estate professionals. RealConnex solves this and brings real estate dealmaking into the modern age in ways never possible before by enabling users to find the right opportunities with just a few clicks.”
The Miami-based RealConnex has raised $2 million in seed funding to develop and launch the platform and is currently raising a Series A round that will conclude later this year, Abrams said.
START at the Web Summit in Dublin this week recognized RealConnex as one of the top 100 new startups likely to disrupt their industries. Previous honorees of START include Nest (acquired this year by Google for $3.2 billion) and The Muse (the job board site backed by Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian and Tyra Banks).
