  • Cherre — the industry’s leading real estate data management and analytics platform — announced it has raised $50 million in growth funding. These are the details.

Cherre — the industry’s leading real estate data management and analytics platform — announced it has raised $50 million in growth funding led by Trustbridge Partners, a leading growth equity firm. And additional participants in this round include new investors Glilot Capital Partners and former Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman Mark Schwartz as well as current investors Intel Capital, Navitas Capital, Carthona Capital, and an expanded growth relationship with Silicon Valley Bank. This new funding round will enable Cherre to continue to aggressively expand platform offerings, introduce and integrate additional partner data sets and applications, launch its customer advisory board, and grow the team to support its rapid customer growth.

Last year, Cherre grew incredibly fast and signed global enterprise customers across technology, asset management, commercial brokerage, and P&C insurance. And Cherre also added almost 40 new data connection partners, including the most important vendors in the real estate industry, and increased ARR 3x from last year, resulting in significant inbound interest from many investors for this round. Cherre had selected Trustbridge Partners to lead the round based on their dedication to long-term support for successful founding teams, their company values, and their passion for leading digital transformation in the real estate space.

Trustbridge Partners is a global growth-oriented private equity firm founded in 2006 with about $11 billion under management. And Glilot Capital Partners is one of Israel’s top performing VC funds with nearly $500 million under management and a focus on enterprise software and cybersecurity venture capital investments. And in addition to Trustbridge and Glilot, Cherre will be adding strategic investment partners including former Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman Mark Schwartz.

Cherre is seamlessly connecting all disparate real estate data into a single source of truth, empowering companies to instantly explore all their connected data for immediate and actionable insight. And Cherre is the largest real estate knowledge graph in the world and is trusted by the industry’s most important stakeholders to deliver mission-critical performance and reliability.
