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.

Since being founded in 2017, by Edmond Boulle, Francesco Liucci and William Pearce, Orbital Witness has developed a thorough understanding of real estate and property risk in the UK, and is now looking to use that knowledge across commercial real estate properties too. Headquartered in London, the startup currently employs fifteen people and is looking to grow and double its team with product-developers, technology and data science experts, marketing and customer service specialists.
Orbital Witness acquired its first client in 2018 and is now working with a number of large law firms, including four out of five Magic Circle law firms.
