London, 27 January 2026 — GoCanopy, an AI-powered operating system built for institutional real estate investors, has closed a €2.1 million seed funding round. The investment was led by ISAI, with additional participation from BNP Paribas Développement, Yellow, and angel investors, including Andrew Baum, University of Oxford Emeritus Professor in Real Estate Investment, and Ludovic Jacquot, CEO of Batipart Europe and former Chairman of EMEA Real Estate Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley.

Institutional real estate investors generate vast amounts of data across acquisitions, asset management, leasing, and financial performance. Yet much of this intelligence remains locked away in disconnected systems like emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, and individual team knowledge, preventing firms from building a unified, long-term view of their investment activity. This fragmentation limits both strategic decision-making and day-to-day execution.

GoCanopy addresses this challenge by acting as a single system of record for institutional intelligence. Its platform uses an AI-driven extraction layer to transform unstructured internal documents, such as offering memoranda, rent rolls, and asset management reports, into structured, searchable intelligence. Through Human-in-the-Loop, agentic AI workflows, GoCanopy creates a continuously evolving institutional memory that grows stronger with every deal, rather than remaining static or siloed.

On the investment side, the platform allows teams to analyse and compare historical deal data, supporting workflows from early screening and underwriting through to investment committee preparation. This results in faster processes, improved decision quality, and greater transparency.

At the same time, the same intelligence layer supports asset management teams by enabling proactive portfolio oversight. Capabilities such as lease expiry alerts, rent review tracking, and leasing opportunity identification help investors unlock ongoing value across existing assets.

Crucially, every insight generated within GoCanopy is fully traceable back to its source documents, meeting the governance, auditability, and defensibility standards expected by investment committees and boards.

In an official press release, William He, Co-founder and CEO of GoCanopy, said, "Over years spent as a real estate investor at Morgan Stanley and Davidson Kempner, I saw firsthand how data fragmentation blocks revenue. When intelligence is captured and made available across both investment and asset management, it compounds. It can be harnessed to uncover millions in potential revenue opportunities that spreadsheets simply can't reveal.

"I built GoCanopy because the first LLMs made it clear that such data fragmentation could finally become a thing of the past. Just as Bloomberg transformed finance, we are creating the system of record for real estate. This is the industry's "Bloomberg moment". We are here to help institutions leverage data that makes up institutional intelligence – something that the majority has yet to seize."

The new funding will be used to enhance GoCanopy’s enterprise-grade capabilities further and accelerate international growth. Plans include opening a London office alongside its Paris presence, as well as expanding both commercial and engineering teams to support global go-to-market efforts.

François Collet, Partner at ISAI, added, "At ISAI, we believe the strongest vertical AI companies are built by founders who deeply understand the real operational pain points of their market. GoCanopy is a strong example of this: a team with deep institutional real estate expertise, a product already validated by leading players in the sector, and an AI approach closely aligned with real-world investment and asset management workflows. This positioning enables rapid integration and supports a highly effective land-and-expand growth strategy."

Andrew Baum, University of Oxford Emeritus Professor in Real Estate Investment, also commented, "Over my career there have been a very small (3 or 4) number of points in time at which we knew that innovative technology would change the way we worked. The recent breakthrough AI/LLM is the latest. The real estate industry needs guidance and applied tools or agents that will harness the power of this technology. The combination of domain expertise and engineering in the founding team made it easy for me to want to support GoCanopy."

As institutional investors face growing pressure to move faster, operate more transparently, and extract greater value from increasingly complex portfolios, GoCanopy is positioning itself as foundational infrastructure for the next era of real estate investing. By turning fragmented documents into living institutional intelligence, the company aims to do for real estate what Bloomberg once did for finance, creating a shared language, a single source of truth, and a durable competitive advantage powered by data.
