Dwelly: Announcing a $93M
AI Property Management Round
Strategy
Dwelly raised $93 million to buy and modernize UK lettings agencies. The story needed to be more than a funding announcement, so we framed the company around a simple idea: using AI to make property management more efficient at scale.
We led with a Fortune exclusive, then followed with targeted outreach to business, tech, and property media in the US and UK. Briefing materials helped reporters understand the PropTech angle, the acquisition model, and the role of AI in the product.
The campaign delivered 50+ placements and made Dwelly part of the broader conversation about AI in real estate.
