London-based legal tech startup Orbital Witness has just closed a 拢3.3 million funding round to create a universal risk rating process for real estate. The latest seed funding investment brings the company鈥檚 total funding to a total of 拢4.5 million, and it was led by LocalGlobe and Outward VC, alongside previous investors like Seedcamp and JLL Spark.
will use the investment to develop an AI-powered software that could transform the 拢4 billion-worth UK property due diligence market. The universal risk rating software for land and property works similarly to a credit check and is designed to provide a high-level view of property risk for all parties.
By using machine learning technology and reinforcement learning techniques, the startup hopes to mirror the process a lawyer goes through when collecting and checking property information.
