Zurich-based PropTech startup ScyAI has closed a €2 million pre-Seed spherical to additional develop their answer to make AI-powered threat intelligence accessible to corporations with giant actual property portfolios.
The spherical was led by AENU and co-led by PT1, additionally attracting unicorn founders together with David Helgason (Unity), Maex Ament and Philip Stehlik (Taulia, Centrifuge), investing by means of Anti Odd Ventures, in addition to Bela Lainck, Robert Levenhagen, Christoph Aufmhof, and Stefanie Gerhart by means of the angel investor alliance higher ventures.
“Bodily dangers have gotten a core operational and monetary problem for corporations,” says Bernhard Rannegger, founder and CEO of ScyAI. “Our mission is to make these dangers measurable, comprehensible, and controllable – in order that enterprise threat and insurance coverage groups could make higher selections and evolve from a price heart to a strategic resilience capital allocator.”
Within the context of European PropTech funding in 2025-2026, ScyAI’s pre-Seed elevate sits alongside a number of different notable investments that mirror investor curiosity in digital instruments addressing constructing knowledge, local weather impression, sustainability and monetary decision-making.
For instance, Telescope (€3.7 million Seed round), an Oslo-based PropTech startup, secured funding in March 2025 to assist real-estate homeowners flip local weather and sustainability threat knowledge into actionable, portfolio-level insights for higher strategic selections. In Germany, Lumoview (€3 million Seed) raised capital in June 2025 to speed up its constructing analytics expertise that quickly captures and processes bodily constructing knowledge to assist power effectivity and retrofits.
This backdrop exhibits a sample of early-stage funding flowing into options that assist property homeowners and traders handle local weather threat, sustainability efficiency, and data-driven resolution workflows. ScyAI’s spherical, with its deal with AI-powered threat intelligence for big asset portfolios and insurance coverage groups, matches inside this pattern of capital supporting digital transformation in actual property threat and asset administration
“We’re excited to again ScyAI as they construct the following era of AI-native threat administration. The mixture of robust technical ambition, clear buyer ROI, and an enormous world market makes this a compelling alternative, “says Robert Stoecker, Accomplice at AENU.
ScyAI was based in 2025 by an insurance coverage and threat tech crew: CEO Bernhard Rannegger spent six years in tech and product administration at Swiss Re, creating AI threat fashions and constructing a three way partnership with Palantir that scaled to 50+ enterprise prospects (together with Siemens, Petronas, and Maersk). As Head of Danger and Insurance coverage AI, Alex Sidorenko brings 20+ years of expertise in threat administration and insurance coverage administration, together with from Deloitte, PwC, and EuroChem, and most just lately as Group Head of Insurance coverage & Danger at Serra Verde.
For producers, power producers, and firms with giant bodily asset portfolios, local weather threat has turn out to be a vital operational concern. Munich Re studies that 2025 noticed roughly €188 billion ($224 billion) in financial losses from pure catastrophes, with insured losses of €91 billion ($108 billion). Greater than half stays uncovered.
Based on the corporate, this safety hole exists partly as a result of many corporations can’t justify the premiums they’re quoted. Insurance coverage pricing is often primarily based on broad trade classes and regional averages fairly than company-specific threat profiles. With out detailed knowledge on a facility’s building high quality, mitigation measures, or asset separation, underwriters worth defensively.
Corporations with robust threat administration find yourself subsidizing weaker friends of their trade class – or they preserve extra threat than supposed, both by alternative or with out absolutely realising the gaps of their protection.
That is the place ScyAI appears to be like to come back in. The platform builds quantified, auditable threat profiles by combining operational knowledge with exterior hazard fashions, enabling organisations to exhibit their particular threat high quality utilizing the identical and extra metrics underwriters depend on.
“We’re excited to hitch ScyAI’s pre-seed spherical as local weather threat begins to redefine how actual property are insured and managed. ScyAI permits corporations to exactly quantify local weather publicity and threat, offering vital infrastructure for a extra resilient constructed world. The crew’s distinctive founder–market match provides us robust conviction of their skill to guide this rising class,” says Fabian König, Funding Supervisor at PT1.
Early adopters of the methodology report 30–50% premium reductions – translating into seven-figure financial savings for corporations with substantial insurance coverage programmes – whereas rising limits and shutting protection gaps. These financial savings then fund bodily resilience investments, making a cycle during which higher threat administration generates measurable returns.
ScyAI is designed for corporations with substantial bodily infrastructure, addressing each the affordability and adequacy challenges that drive right this moment’s safety hole.
“ScyAI has what’s uncommon on this class: real insurance coverage DNA plus product supply. The crew is just not constructing one other local weather evaluation instrument, however fairly decision-making instruments that basically work in threat and insurance coverage groups. That’s exactly why we imagine that ScyAI can set a brand new benchmark right here and form the market,” says Tina Dreimann, founder and managing director of higher ventures.
