The PropTech Gridky, a specialist in real estate investment, secures a €4M funding round to finance its development plan

Customer Gridky

Gridky has developed the first intelligent comparator for new properties aimed at wealth managers, banks, and brokers, allowing them to compare and score properties, simulate investments, and create tailored commercial proposals for their clients. This digital solution, designed for all real estate professionals, currently offers the widest market selection with over 35,000 listed properties and is the only platform connected in real time to available stock from more than 150 developers.

Counterparties Vilavi

Founded in 1975 to provide accessible insurance solutions to those excluded from them, Vilavi consists of 11 brands specializing in insurance and credit brokerage, as well as wealth management (Euroassurance, Assuréo, Maxance, l’assureur crédit.com, profirst, Vousfinancer, abcourtage, créditmarket.fr, Brookeo, Cheval Blanc Patrimoine). With 1,800 employees and a turnover of €163 million, VILAVI is the leading expert broker in insurance and credit dedicated to individuals in France. Its mission is to make effective and responsible solutions accessible to everyone, to protect daily life and enable people to pursue life projects with peace of mind.

The digital platform for comparing and aggregating new real estate properties, dedicated to industry professionals, raises €4 million from Groupe Vilavi to finance an ambitious development plan

After founding several startups in the insurance and real estate sectors, including Finanzen, later sold to Allianz, serial entrepreneur Mathieu Morio created Gridky in 2019. He identified a gap in the market, as no real estate comparison tool was leveraging big data. After two years of R&D, Gridky’s innovative “Tech & Data” fundamentals now enable smarter real estate investment decisions through intelligent data modeling

Gridky has experienced significant success, multiplying its user base by 12 and its recurring revenue by 6 in 2021 alone. Its business model relies on multiple revenue streams, including platform subscriptions, commissions on completed sales, and lead generation sales

Operating in the thriving real estate investment market, Gridky aims to establish itself as the leading platform with this new funding round. Following a process led by PAX Corporate Finance, Gridky and Groupe Vilavi recognized the mutual benefits of this partnership beyond financial support. As a result, Groupe Vilavi acquired a minority stake through a €4 million capital increase

Launched in early 2022, this funding round aims to accelerate the platform’s commercialization, continue R&D efforts, develop new products to enhance its service offering, and strengthen Gridky’s sales and marketing teams

Mathieu Morio states: "The choice of Groupe VILAVI to support our growth naturally emerged as the best solution to ensure our independence and continue serving all real estate investment professionals. Gridky is building the reference technology platform to simplify the distribution of all developers and enable wealth managers, advisors, real estate agents, and brokers to easily sell the best new real estate available."

David Guyonnet states: "Following its expertise in the Mobility sector, Groupe Vilavi has decided to accelerate the deployment of a comprehensive range of services and financial products in the Housing sector, similar to One Stop Shops, an area where it was already active through its credit brokerage activities. Our strengthened collaboration with Gridky, through this equity investment, will naturally allow us to offer a more complete solution to those who are homeowners or wish to become one (whether for living, investing, or enhancing and improving an existing property). Our ambition is to become the leading broker in the Housing sector for individuals. We are convinced that Gridky offers an innovative and differentiating value proposition, far superior to what is currently available on the market."
