Backbone receives over five million US dollars

The proptech has thus successfully completed its seed round and now wants to become the leading provider of "real estate visuals".

With its offer, the proptech Backbone wants to make it easier for real estate agents to produce high-quality image and graphic material for their listings. The start-up has now been able to convince investors with its idea. 5.5 million US dollars were raised for the company in the seed round. The round is led by VR Ventures, with ACE & Company, EquityPitcher Ventures, TX Markets and Wingman Ventures also participating.

Backbone was founded in 2018 by Dorian de Vinck, Antoine Tomasini and Federico Leis. The company provides Visuals as a Service (VaaS), as it explains itself. Through its in-house PLatform, real estate companies can book photos, videos, floor plans, drone footage or virtual tours for their properties. Backbone promises a 48-hour delivery time. Customers already include auction house Sotheby's and real estate group CBRE.

"We have been working with Dorian and his team for more than a year and a half and are very impressed by their determination to expand their offering in the DACH region," says Alex Stöckl of Wingman Ventures. "From our perspective, it's only a matter of time before Backbone becomes the European standard for real estate visuals."
