REACH UK Announces 2025 Cohort: Eight Startups Set to Transform the Property Sector
REACH UK, the scale-up programme powered by Second Century Ventures, the venture capital arm of the National Association of Realtors, has announced the eight high-growth startups selected for its 2025 scale-up programme. Developed in collaboration with Propertymark and TDS Group, the initiative supports the growth of early-stage companies driving innovation across the UK property sector.
This year’s cohort represents a dynamic mix of fintech, proptech, and insuretech solutions aimed at solving critical industry challenges from rent arrears and retrofit financing to waste reduction, water management, and leasing automation. The selected startups include: Husmus, Casapay, Factored, Prospector Pro, SquarePlan, Hybr, Watergate, and Carrot. Each company brings a focused, scalable solution designed to increase operational efficiency, enhance compliance, and support ESG goals across residential and commercial property markets.
Notable innovations include AI-powered tenant screening and risk assessment, same-day financing for energy upgrades, and platforms that enable automated leasing, waste analytics, and leak prevention. Together, these ventures are positioned to make meaningful contributions to industry performance, sustainability, and customer experience. Several of the companies also demonstrate strong social impact potential, including support for underserved renters and inclusive insurance models.
“This year’s cohort reflects where the market is heading,” said Natasha Terinova, Managing Partner at REACH UK. “We’re backing founders building scalable technologies that address real inefficiencies across housing, finance, and sustainability.” The programme also supports companies with leadership diversity and market relevance, including two female-led ventures.
REACH UK continues to serve as a strategic gateway for startups seeking access to real estate professionals, investors, and global markets. Through expert mentorship, capital connections, and targeted market exposure, the programme accelerates commercial traction and positions each company for long-term success.
