Skenariolabs raises a € 3 million capital round led by Mediahuis
European media group Mediahuis is investing in the FEV investee SkenarioLabs, a fast-growing Finnish start-up that predicts the future of sustainable real estate, based on data and artificial intelligence (AI). The €3 million capital round was led by Mediahuis. With the investment, Mediahuis marks its entry into the PropTech market.
PropTech is a fast-growing market that seeks to improve all aspects of the real estate lifecycle: all the way from designing and building a property, to investing and financing, as well as managing it.
Within this market, SkenarioLabs is growing strongly. SkenarioLabs helps property owners, portfolio managers, banks and insurance companies make more responsible decisions through an objective, transparent and accurate risk and value assessment platform, delivered as a SaaS service that requires very little to no initial data. SkenarioLabs supports financial institutions to manage, understand, analyze and optimize all real estate risks and opportunities from single mortgages to automated collateral monitoring and ESG-risk detection. For real estate experts, the startup offers detailed and predictive insight on market values, rental prices, energy performance, CO2 emissions and cost structure.
Today, SkenarioLabs operates mainly in Europe and North America and has 20 employees. The company will use the additional funding to accelerate further European growth and expand its existing product portfolio.
For Mediahuis, which is already active in the education technology and media technology market, this is the first investment in the property technology market.
Patrick De Wachter, Corporate Business Development Director at Mediahuis Marketplaces: “The investment in SkenarioLabs further broadens the development potential of our group. PropTech fits with the real estate marketplaces in our portfolio, notably Zimmo in Belgium, Jaap in the Netherlands and Wortimmo in Luxembourg. We see the significant growth potential of the PropTech market in Europe and believe in the strong team and excellent solutions of SkenarioLabs to become an international leader in this market.”
