The new funding will support PlanRadar as it doubles down on international expansion and technological development.

Since launching in Vienna, Austria, in 2013, PlanRadar has swiftly established itself as Europe’s leading PropTech solution, with a full-service construction and real estate management platform known for adding value at every stage of the building lifecycle. In the 18 months since its $34 million Series A round, PlanRadar has seen revenue increase by over 250% and has more than doubled its customer base. Its innovative solution is now trusted by 14,500 customers and used daily by 100,000 industry professionals in over 60 countries to drive project efficiencies and ensure high quality completion.
PlanRadar’s rapid growth has been enabled by a commitment to global expansion, including launching in 10 new markets across Europe and Russia since 2020. The company’s diverse team of 200+ employees serve customers in over 20 languages from offices in Vienna, London, Amsterdam, Moscow, Paris, Madrid, Milan, Zagreb, Warsaw, and Bucharest.

“By growing PlanRadar into the world’s leading PropTech platform, we’re transforming an industry that has historically been reluctant to go digital,” said Sander van de Rijdt, PlanRadar Co-Founder and Co-CEO. “We’re showing that if you give customers an intuitive platform that makes their jobs easier, and combine it with gold-standard support services, then they are eager to embrace cutting-edge solutions. It really is as simple as that.”
