About

We built the outreach system we wished we had.

It started inside a CRE lending business. Now we use it to find clients for firms across commercial real estate.

It started with our own pipeline.

We were working in CRE lending in New York. We knew the borrowers and sponsors we wanted to reach, but finding the right company, the right person and the right moment was painfully manual.

So we started building our own system.

It connected real estate activity with the companies and people behind it, then helped us run the outreach.

And it worked well enough that people started asking what we were using.

The answer was slightly awkward:

We built it ourselves.

Eventually that became Buildwise.

Today we use the same approach for firms selling into CRE, and yes, we still use it to find our own clients.

Small team. A suspicious amount of automation.

David

CEO

Responsible for clients, strategy and asking “can we automate this?” too often.

“The best product roadmap is usually hiding in a client call.”

George

Head of Data Engineering

Goes into the data jungle and usually comes back with the right owner.

“Bad data is usually just data nobody has annoyed enough yet.”

Irina

Head of Marketing

Runs enough A/B tests to qualify for a minor scientific award.

“If we can test it, we don’t need to argue about it.”

We know the data is not the hard part.

A permit is easy to find.

Figuring out who actually owns the project, who makes the decision, why your service is relevant and what to say to them is the part that matters.

That is the work we do.

What happened?
A purchase, permit, refinancing, renovation or capital event.
Who is actually behind it?
The owner, developer, lender, contractor or other company that matters.
Why should they talk to you?
We connect what just happened with what your firm actually sells.
