BNP Paribas Real Estate partners with Fifth Wall’s new European fund

Based in Los Angeles and London, Fifth Wall is a venture capital firm specialising in global PropTechs. Having already established themselves as the largest venture capital firm focused on real estate technology, the Fifth Wall Real Estate Technology European Fund aims to invest in high-potential European PropTech startups and to accelerate European real estate innovation.

Aligned with BNP Paribas Real Estate’s vision of the future of real estate, Fifth Wall’s mission is to advance technology innovation and adoption across the real estate industry. “We strive to connect our corporate strategic partners, like BNP Paribas Real Estate, with the PropTech entrepreneurs who are redefining the future of the Built World and the innovation that could have a positive impact on BNP Paribas Real Estate’s business,” said Roelof Opperman, Managing Director, Fifth Wall.

Thanks to Fifth Wall’s network of partners and technological and innovative solutions, BNP Paribas Real Estate will be supported in its ongoing quest to adapt and learn from social and political events. As Roelof Opperman, Managing Director, Fifth Wall points out, “I think the Covid-19 pandemic has brought to the forefront the fact that we are in a world that’s dynamically changing, and as that happens you can no longer view investment in technology as purely a one-time thing. Technology must be invested in on an ongoing basis, as part of an offensive Research & Development strategy.” 

By partnering with Fifth Wall, BNP Paribas Real Estate aims to continue collaborating with start-ups and PropTechs who have pioneered new solutions relevant for the real estate industry, through the network that Fifth Wall has meticulously built. As such, we believe that collaborating in this way will open up new opportunities and affirm our position as one of the leaders of the real estate industry, capable of adapting to change and anticipating new trends.
