Optiml

Software and AI are rapidly changing the way real estate professionals decide.

Optiml’s Real Estate Decision Intelligence (REDI) platform is the decision layer for institutional real estate capital allocation and active asset management. It connects building evidence, financial objectives, and real-world constraints to support defensible, refreshable decisions from acquisition to exit.

Fund, asset, investment, and transaction managers use Optiml to answer one question: where should capital go, when, and why. The platform turns the evidence in a data room, the targets a fund has committed to, and the constraints it operates under (budgets, leases, refinancing, regulation) into decisions that hold up with investment committees, LPs, and lenders, and that update when conditions change instead of being rebuilt.

Optiml was founded in late 2022 as an ETH Zurich spin-off. We work with institutional investors, asset managers, and advisory firms across 22+ countries, with teams in Zurich, London, and Germany. Optiml is backed by Innovation Endeavors (the fund of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt), Planet A Ventures, KOMPAS, BitStone Capital, and The Bau Ventures, and is scaling product and go-to-market following an oversubscribed €8M Seed round in early 2026.

Mission
Optiml’s mission is to help real estate investors, asset managers, owners, and advisors decide where capital should go, when, and why. Decisions that protect value, create value, and fund the sustainable transition.

Why join
Real estate is the largest asset class in the world and most of it was built before anyone asked what it would cost to keep. Deciding what to do with those buildings, under real budgets, real leases, and real regulation, is a hard problem that nobody has solved at scale. That’s the work.

We’re a multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary team across Zurich, London, and Germany: real estate investors, engineers, data scientists, and climate specialists, working on the same model. The engineering is serious (a decade of ETH Zurich research, deterministic optimisation, every assumption traceable), and the stakes are concrete: the output goes to an investment committee that will act on it.

You’ll see the full loop. A client’s data room comes in on Monday, we support them to get a decision pack goes to their IC on Friday, and you’ll know which part of that was yours. If you want your work to change what gets built, fixed, bought, or sold, this is a good place to do it.
