Peek
Peek is a New York-based proptech company building an AI-powered leasing platform for multifamily property owners and operators. It brings e-commerce-style shopping to apartment rentals through unit-level 3D tours, self-guided tours, a conversational AI leasing assistant, and prospect analytics - helping operators lease faster and cut vacancy loss. Founded in 2019 by Austin Lo and Chris Kostoulas, Peek raised a $5M Series A in May 2025 and serves a portfolio spanning hundreds of thousands of units across the U.S.
Tour24
Tour24 is a Boston-based proptech company that gives apartment renters a self-guided way to tour multifamily communities on their own schedule - day or night, with or without a leasing agent present. Its mobile app combines curated audio/visual tour guides, Bluetooth-beacon room tracking, smart-lock access control and an analytics dashboard so property operators can keep leasing 'always open.' Founded in 2020 by serial proptech entrepreneur Georgianna W. Oliver, the platform now serves hundreds of thousands of units across roughly 2,000 U.S. properties and in 2025 added Tori, a conversational AI tour assistant.
Cobu
Cobu is a Boston-based proptech company that turns apartment residents into a real community - and turns that community into occupancy. Its resident-powered, AI-enabled platform runs building-wide chats, interest groups, in-person events, and always-on Google review and referral outreach, backed by a team of virtual community managers. For renters it fights isolation; for owners and operators it drives signed leases, higher renewals, better online reputation, and less busywork for on-site teams. Founded in 2018 as Doorbell, Cobu is used across dozens of U.S. states and by many of the country's largest multifamily operators.
Nickson
Nickson (Nickson Living) is a Dallas-based startup that turns an empty rented apartment into a fully designed, fully furnished, move-in-ready home before the renter arrives. Renters pick a furniture package, take a style quiz and upload a floor plan; Nickson's designers build a custom layout and install specialists outfit the unit - down to silverware, sheets and artwork - in as little as three hours, all for a monthly subscription plus a one-time install fee. Founded by former real estate executive Cameron Johnson in 2017, the company raised a $12M Series A in 2021 and serves Texas metros and Oklahoma City.
