Bluechip-Backed Generative Design Platform Archistar Secures a $6M Series a Investment Led by Airtree Ventures

Australian property intelligence platform Archistar has closed a $6 million Series A funding round led by AirTree to accelerate its international growth and expand its product and engineering team.

Archistar will join AirTree’s portfolio of leading Australian technology companies, including Canva, Secure Code Warrior and Pet Circle. As part of the investment, Craig Blair, Co-founder and Partner at AirTree, will join the board.

Founded by Dr. Ben Coorey, a globally recognised leader in generative design, Archistar combines architectural design with artificial intelligence to inform decision-making in property.

Used by architects, planners, developers and agents, the software gives instant information on the type of residential projects allowable on any development site in Australia based on local planning and zoning rules. It allows professionals to create and assess hundreds of compliant 3D generative designs, exploring features like height restrictions, exposure to sunlight and ventilation.

“Robust businesses and ideas led by capable founders will continue to attract pedigree capital. And, we couldn’t be more delighted to welcome AirTree to the register, said Chairman of ArchiStar, Prabhat Sethi.

It’s a total game changer for the industry,” he continued.
