From Idea to Impact: Why Proptech Founders Choose REACH ANZ

For proptech founders, the leap from concept to sustainable scale is one of the hardest moves they’ll ever make. Navigating capital, technology, and market adoption all at once can feel overwhelming. That’s where accelerators come in.

At REACH ANZ, we’re not just about writing a cheque; we’re about creating an ecosystem where founders thrive. Through mentorship from industry leaders, access to a global network, and a community that has each other’s backs, we help proptech companies move faster, smarter, and with impact that lasts well beyond the program.

The Proptech Landscape: Challenges and Opportunities

Proptech is no longer a fringe movement; it’s fast becoming the backbone of how the property sector operates globally. From the digitisation of transactions to the rise of AI-driven insights, technology is reshaping the way we buy, sell, manage, and invest in property.

In Australia and New Zealand, adoption is accelerating but remains uneven. Real estate agencies, developers, and investors are embracing digital tools for efficiency and customer experience, yet there’s still resistance to change in parts of the industry. This gap creates both challenge and opportunity for founders: those who can clearly demonstrate value and scalability are well-placed to win market share.

Globally, trends like sustainability and ESG reporting are pushing the industry toward greener, smarter buildings. At the same time, the growing importance of data security, tenant experience, and digital transformation means the bar for proptech solutions is higher than ever. The market is hungry, but it demands innovation that is both practical and proven.

What Makes REACH ANZ Different

Mentorship & Investor Access

At the heart of REACH ANZ is deep mentorship, from seasoned founders who’ve scaled globally to executives across real estate, construction, finance, and technology. This isn’t theoretical advice; it’s practical guidance from people who’ve been in the trenches. Layered on top is direct access to an unrivalled network of investors, from venture capital to corporate backers, opening doors that most founders could never reach alone.

Market Access & Partnerships

Through the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) and Second Century Ventures (SCV), our alumni gain exposure to the largest real estate network in the world. Locally, REACH ANZ has forged partnerships across Australia and New Zealand’s leading industry bodies, ensuring founders are plugged directly into the markets where adoption and scaling matter most. This industry backing is what enables companies to pilot, test, and roll out their solutions faster and with credibility.

Community That Lasts

Every cohort becomes part of a global alumni family, with hundreds of companies across the U.S., Canada, the UK, Israel, Latin America, and now ANZ. This community doesn’t dissolve when the program ends; it continues to share knowledge, contacts, and opportunities long after the accelerator is finished.

Focus on the Future

Our program puts particular emphasis on solutions that matter for the future of property: ESG and sustainability, construction tech, and the digital transformation of real estate. From smarter cities to greener buildings, REACH ANZ actively seeks founders building solutions with lasting impact.

In short, REACH ANZ isn’t just an accelerator — it’s a launchpad into the global stage, built on community, credibility, and connections that no founder can find on their own.

Inside the Program

So what does REACH ANZ actually look like from the inside? Participants can expect a structured but founder-friendly program designed to accelerate growth without pulling them away from running their business.

• Workshops & Masterclasses: Practical, no-fluff sessions covering everything from go-to-market strategy and scaling technology to fundraising, financial management, and leadership.

• Mentorship: Access to a curated bench of mentors — seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and industry executives who provide tailored guidance at every stage.

• Networking & Exposure: Direct introductions to key decision-makers across the property ecosystem — from real estate agencies and developers to investors and global partners.

• Global Access: Through our connection with NAR and SCV, founders tap into a worldwide network of opportunities, pilot partners, and potential customers.

But the real value doesn’t stop when the program wraps up. Every participant becomes part of a lifelong alumni network, plugged into hundreds of founders across continents. Continued support, collaboration, and community mean that the benefits of REACH ANZ grow long after “demo day” is over.
