eVoost AI, the Abu Dhabi-based proptech startup focused on AI-driven residential sales solutions, has raised $2.2 million (€2 million) in a funding round led by First Drop VC, with participation from Qora71, a syndicated investment vehicle linked to Hub71 and backed by Mubadala Investment Company.
Founded in 2024 by Cristian Pastrana and Koh Onozawa, eVoost AI is developing an artificial intelligence-powered platform designed to modernize residential property sales through predictive analytics, automation, and behavioral data insights.
The company said it currently manages more than $3.5 billion in real estate assets under commercial agreements across Europe, the UAE, and the United States. Its platform enables developers to identify buyer demand before construction is completed, helping optimize pricing, positioning, and sales strategies using AI-generated insights.
“This round allows us to accelerate the construction of an intelligent operating system for residential commercialisation,” said Cristian Pastrana, Co-Founder and CEO of eVoost AI. “Our goal is to transform a traditionally fragmented and analogue sector into one governed by data, AI, and automation.”
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate product and technology development, support international expansion, and strengthen the company’s team across Spain, Portugal, the UAE, and the United States.
Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, eVoost AI also operates teams in Madrid and Gijón, and plans to further expand its footprint into new global markets.
According to Manu Nieto, the investment reflects increasing demand for technology-driven solutions addressing inefficiencies in the housing sector.
“At First Drop, we believe access to housing is one of the major global challenges,” Nieto said. “Many developers still build without truly understanding their end customer. eVoost’s technology identifies demand and optimises sales even before construction begins.”
The funding round highlights growing investor interest in AI-powered proptech infrastructure, particularly across the Gulf region, where developers are increasingly adopting automation, predictive analytics, and digital-first sales systems.
