HqO Raises Over $50M to “Revolutionize” Real Estate Landscape 

HqO, a Boston-based proptech platform, has raised over $50 million in Series D funding led by Koch Real Estate Investments, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, along with participation from existing investors, venture capital and commercial real estate firms including Accomplice, Insight Partners, and Related.  

The fresh capital infusion brings the total funding to over $200 million, allowing it to continue executing on its focused M&A strategy. 

In response to the evolving real estate market, the firm established the HqO Real Estate Experience (REX) platform, an end-to-end solution centered on the consumer. According to the company, the platform solves “pain points” in the real estate market for owners, operators, and occupiers. 

Intelligence, the newest product on the REX Platform, is based on the company’s existing real estate product, Experience Manager (XM). It is the “first and only” industry standard for monitoring and assessing the health and performance of a customer’s experience within a property, according to the firm. 

Users have immediate access to global real estate data from over 1.7 million employees and 8,000 workplaces. 

“We’re doubling down on our commitment to connect real estate to the people and help create spaces that truly serve the evolving needs of those who use them,” said Chase Garbarino, HqO co-founder and CEO. 

HqO’s REX Platform has connected over 350,000 users to real estate in 700 properties across 32 countries. 

Related, Vornado Realty Trust, Nuveen Real Estate, Jamestown L.P., Hudson Pacific Properties, Grosvenor, Legal & General Investment Managers, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Hines, abrdn, LaSalle, Primonial, ARC, and Chiswick Park are among the clients served by HqO. 

Separately, Justin Wilson, managing director at Koch Real Estate Investments, will be joining HqO’s Board of Directors.
