Smart Bricks, a Dubai-based artificial intelligence startup focused on real estate, has raised $5 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz through its a16z Speedrun program.

Founded in 2024, the company is building AI-led infrastructure to streamline real estate discovery, underwriting, and transaction execution. The platform aims to shorten processes that traditionally take months into workflows that can be completed in minutes.

At the core of Smart Bricks’ offering is a data engine that processes more than one million data feeds. Using this data, the system evaluates global property markets and surfaces a narrow set of opportunities ranked by risk-adjusted returns. According to the company, the platform automates up to 99% of the real estate investment workflow.

The startup serves both retail and institutional investors. Its initial focus markets include Dubai, London, and New York. Through real-time analytics and automated execution tools, the platform seeks to reduce manual intervention across the transaction lifecycle.

Smart Bricks has also received early recognition from industry platforms such as TechCrunch. In addition to a16z Speedrun, the company is backed by investors including Techstars and 500 Global, along with angel investors associated with OpenAI and Blackstone.

Founder Mohamed Mohamed brings experience across artificial intelligence, strategy, and investment. He has previously worked with firms such as McKinsey, Blackstone, and Goldman Sachs.
