Giraffe360 who are a proptech start up founded in Latvia are moving their offices to the UK (despite the global fears on Brexit) after they secured over 1 million euros via second round funding led by Change Ventures. Their technology is the use of digital photography (270 megapixel resolution) in order to showcase real estate via 3d virtual reality.

They have pitched and showcased their products at varied events across the UK to include twice at TeqDen which I founded and recently sold to Life Ventures – CEO of Giraffe360, Mikus Opelts, was always very keen to showcase the product and results it delivered both to estate agents and potential investors.

Mikus Opelts chose London to move the business to as he believes that it is still the best place in Europe to run a tech business.

Mikus Opelts said: “We are thrilled to be closing this funding round and to be moving our headquarters to the UK… London is one of the biggest real estate markets in the world and Brexit or no Brexit, London will remain one of the most well connected and diverse global cities, with a supportive business ecosystem and competitive market. I don’t believe this culture will change.”
