About PRODA

At PRODA (www.proda.ai) we are building software to unlock the full potential of Real Estate Data no matter the asset class, language or country of origin.

Our solution leverages the latest technologies to automatically capture, standardise and quality check Real Estate data into a single, clean source of truth. The goal is to empower real estate professionals to quickly gain actionable insights from their data and to enable the effective use of software.

Despite being the biggest asset class in the world, the commercial real estate industry relies on excel & PDF “Rent Roll” documents as the primary means of exchanging data. These files are frequently inconsistent, inaccurate, and inaccessible, posing challenges for real estate professionals. Through automated data capture, standardisation, and analysis, PRODA can:

· Build repositories of clean, standardised data

· Increase process efficiency, through faster report generation

· Improve data-driven decision making, by ensuring the accuracy of input data

Furthermore, PRODA easily integrates with existing systems, to ensure consistent dataflow through the whole organisation.

Founded in 2017 by Charles and Peter, two former Real Estate Finance Investment professionals, PRODA is now 66 people strong, and is looking to expand rapidly following a successful Series A raise in Q2 2022.

PRODA has a strong globally recognised client base with an even better sales pipeline. We are looking for you to join us on our exciting journey delivering best-in-class software to the Commercial Real Estate market globally.
