Team
We're Kwadwo and Weeks, a technical team of second-time YC founders and CRE investors on a mission to revolutionize commercial real estate investing. Having experienced the inefficiencies in CRE investing firsthand, we previously built an end-to-end underwriting solution. There, we uncovered a major pain point for investors: the top-of-the-funnel bottleneck of screening deals, where they waste time reviewing countless deals that don’t match their buying criteria.

Problem
Acquisition teams are bogged down by the manual tasks required to screen deals, from analyzing deal documents to conducting time-consuming comp research before testing assumptions in an Excel model. A thorough diligence process takes an average of two hours. The workflow is highly manual, yet each deal is unique, preventing easily scaled processes. These inefficiencies lead to missed opportunities and slowed decision-making, making it difficult to focus on high-potential opportunities.

Cresa is an AI Screening Analyst that automates multifamily deal screening and diligence processes. Cresa is the first fine-tuned multimodal CRE Agent that handles key workflows for acquisition teams 24/7 so they can focus on high-potential opportunities. Cresa can screen deals using your preferred acquisition model, analyze documents, conduct market research, generate comprehensive reports, and send emails.
