Our journey from MIT to tech industry

We are entrepreneurs trained at MIT. We use technology (AI) and human expertise to drive change.

From talking to customers and our work in commercial real estate, we found a big issue: retailers' methods for selecting and managing  properties is flawed.

Retail real estate directors receive over 800 sites each month from brokers. Most aren’t a good fit—either the space is too big or small, doesn’t match target demographics, or is near a competitor. Real estate teams screen these sites one by one.

Tracking existing deals is tough. There is no central source of truth.

Sam, Raj, and Clyde. GrowthFactor Founders.

‍Managers sift through 80-page leases to find key information, wasting hours.

Driven by these insights, we solve these challenges. Our mission is clear: empower customers to grow faster. Apply data and technology to your biggest challenges, simply.
