Atlas Invest has raised $25 million in funding led by BlackRock as it looks to scale its technology-enabled approach to commercial real estate bridge lending and broaden access to institutional-style real estate debt opportunities. The New York-based lender said the raise will support expanded origination and management of senior, real estate-backed loans while strengthening underwriting, monitoring, and servicing capabilities across its portfolio.
The company positions its platform as an alternative to traditional deal diligence, arguing that underwriting and risk assessment are often slow, expensive, and constrained by limited visibility into borrower and asset performance between origination and exit. Atlas Invest said it applies proprietary AI and data-driven processes throughout sourcing, underwriting, and servicing, and conducts recurring, institutional-grade diligence to help investors track risk over time. The firm also emphasized continuous monitoring that draws on a broad set of information related to both the developer and the underlying asset.
Atlas Invest said the $25 million facility will increase its capacity to fund and manage income-oriented private credit strategies in a market where investors are prioritizing security, predictability, and oversight. The company described the financing as another step toward making real estate debt investing more accessible to a wider set of brokers and investors, while maintaining what it calls institutional discipline in credit selection and portfolio management.
The announcement follows a prior $11 million funding round, which Atlas Invest said helped build momentum for its next phase of growth and increased its ability to finance additional transactions.
Founded as a technology-driven lending platform focused on bridge financing, Atlas Invest said it combines human expertise with proprietary AI and an end-to-end infrastructure designed to streamline borrowing while providing accredited and institutional investors exposure to diversified, income-producing real estate-backed portfolios in prime U.S. markets.
