Real Estate Startup Agora Raises $34 Million to Digitize Property Data Platform

Leading real estate technology startup Agora has raised $34 million in its Series B funding round to further develop its flagship platform that digitizes property data and streamlines transactions.

Agora’s SaaS platform aims to bring much needed organization and transparency to real estate data by aggregating records from various county and municipality sources onto a single, searchable database. Property owners, agents, and title firms can access vital records like ownership histories, zoning details, and liens from any device.

This centralized repository of verified real estate information addresses long-standing industry frustrations around locating, authenticating, and sharing physical documentation between parties. Agora’s cloud-based solution modernizes an antiquated paper-based process that has endured for decades.

The new capital injection will fuel the company’s ongoing efforts to digitize property records nationwide. Additional funds will also drive product expansion like predictive analytics tools and integrations with popular transaction management platforms.

Founder and CEO Ed Jacob said the successful Series B raise validates Agora’s vision of a digital property network. He noted that COVID-19 demonstrated real estate’s increasing reliance on remote operations and online workflows. This funding allows Agora to capitalize on that momentum by offering services that enhance efficiency, reduce costs and ensure compliance across more local markets.
