Goldacre, the boutique investor that forms part of the Noé Group’s £2.3bn asset management business, has launched RElab, an accelerator programme to support real estate technology start-ups to grow through partnership and investment.
The scheme is being run with L Marks, a corporate innovation specialist and early-stage investor.
Goldacre is looking to work with start-ups and early-stage businesses from all over the world applying tech innovation to transform the built environment.
The 12-week accelerator programme hopes to enable start-ups to gain market feedback through direct access to real estate environments and to tenants, retailers and asset managers. It will be focused on tech applications for urban logistics, smart buildings, physical retail spaces and digital platforms for real estate transactions.
Goldacre managing director Fionnuala Hogan said: “As technology continues to be a driving force within the real estate sector, the opportunity to cultivate innovative talent is a priority for Goldacre. We look forward to working with some amazing companies and supporting them in realising their vision.”
David Bloom, partner at Goldacre, added: “We are always interested to hear from entrepreneurs with real vision and conviction. Our investment approach is agile and proactive but also patient. As part of Noé Group, we are able to leverage extensive experience in the real estate sector together with our deep understanding of the tech business space.”
