Bringing modern real estate investment management solutions to our customers
We created Agora in 2019 because we saw a gap in the real estate market for an attractive, easy-to-use investment management platform that automates and optimizes back-office operations. We saw so many GPs, LPs, and other asset managers trying to manage investor relationships manually (and the glaring inefficiencies of that approach). We knew we could improve the process.
So we set out to build a platform that moves investor management out of an Excel spreadsheet and into an all-in-one web-based platform where users can manage assets, relationships, reporting, documents, and more from one dashboard while leveraging the power of automation.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of our fantastic team, Agora’s investment management platform accomplishes all that and more. Agora has reached significant milestones with our platform this year, including the launch of an advanced, powerful, and beautifully designed investor portal and a new cutting-edge fundraising tool that transforms the way firms offer new investment opportunities to their investors.
In addition to our core platform, we’ve developed systems to help our customers streamline processes for payments and tax operations as well.
An investment in the future
With this Series A investment, Agora will extend our industry reach and help more customers grow faster — with operational efficiency and significant time savings on tedious, manual tasks.
This investment round was led by Insight Partners, a global software investor partnering with high-growth technology, software, and Internet startup and ScaleUp companies that are driving transformative change in their industries.
We’re so excited to partner with such an incredible team that has seen over 55 portfolio companies achieve an IPO. In an evolving market such as this, the faith they placed in us speaks to Agora’s tremendous value and growth potential.
“Real estate is the largest asset class in the world, yet the market still relies on legacy software providers. Agora is the first next-gen SaaS platform with the depth and breadth to meet the unique needs of developers and investors alike. Agora’s exceptional team and ambitious vision have made it a clear standout in the industry, and we look forward to partnering with them as they continue to scale.”
John Rosenbaum, Managing Director at Insight Partners

When we reach a milestone like this, it’s important to stop and thank all the remarkable people who helped us get here: our customers, our brilliant team, and our incredible investors. All played a huge role in Agora’s success.
We see this Series A funding round, not only as a culmination of our efforts, but also as a catapult that enables future growth and innovation. And our customers will guide the way.
