REscour Raises $1.5M to Leverage Its Data Analytics Platform for a New View on CRE Insights

REscour has raised $1.5 million dollars in their latest investment round. The Social+Capital Partnership, led by Chamath Palihapitiya an early employee and former vice president of user growth at Facebook, joined Spider Capital Partners, Mosley Ventures, and LAUNCH in the investment. REscour is currently using that capital to expand sales and marketing efforts and to create Insights by REscour, a market intelligence feed for commercial real estate professionals. Insights officially launches at the Bisnow Multifamily Annual Conference on December 3rd in Washington D.C.

“We’ve had a lot of success selling massive data aggregation and advanced analytics to large firms like JLL, ARA, UDR, and Pinnacle but we’re finding there’s also a need for individuals or small teams within these organizations to simply keep track of what’s happening around specific properties. REscour’s Insights provides personalized, targeted insights for everybody.” said CEO and Co-Founder Jake Edens.

“I’m blown away by the progress Rescour has made in such a short period of time,” said Jason Calacanis of LAUNCH. “Their technology is doing an amazing job of taking billions of data points and creating actionable insights.”

Insights starts at $99 per month and gives multifamily professionals an opportunity to move past sifting through their inbox or saving news articles to their computer for possible future use. REscour customers can now add specific properties to “follow”, similar to adding friends on Facebook, which populates the user’s personal feed. Users also receive a daily digest on followed properties, essentially putting their market intelligence on autopilot. Insights is mobile-friendly for quick and easy access to accommodate the CRE professional constantly on the go. The personalized feed provides information on everything happening around those followed areas and allows CRE professionals to quickly learn:

• When multifamily properties are on the market or closing soon.
• What’s happening in the market (proposed developments, jobs announcements, etc.) around specific properties via geo-located CRE news from local business journals, Globe St, Bisnow, popular CRE blogs, and hundreds of other publications.
• When sales transactions occur for over 7 million commercial properties in 166 different markets.

Doug Burt, Multifamily Broker at Tarantino Properties, stated “For the past year REscour has offered data and analytics, but the addition of qualitative data has elevated the way we make decisions. REscour Insights lets me cut through the noise to focus on the information pertinent to my current deals. My team now spends less time doing market research, which allows us to increase our deal pipeline.”
