DIGITAL MASTERPLANNING

Digital Masterplanning is a cloud-based platform built to centralize, de-risk, and accelerate the real estate and infrastructure development process.

The real estate and infrastructure development process is mired with inefficient and ineffective software. Rather than working towards solutions, software creators have instead focused on maintaining market dominance by impeding cross-platform integration.

Who pays the price? Users, who are forced into cumbersome workflows to accommodate sub-optimal tools, do.

Above all, Digital Masterplanning believes in progress. They pursue radical disruptions defined by sustainability, equity, efficiency, and effectiveness. That is to say, they are here to transform the ways in which people plan, design, shape, and understand the built environment.

To date, they have raised US$300K through self-funding and $300k from friends and family. Their top prospective customers are currently BlackRock, Google, JBG SMITH, PGIM, and CalSTRS.
