This Report is a New 2019 Definitive Resource for Evaluating Startup Companies in the Smart Buildings space.

Memoori has identified 482 private companies founded between 2009 and 2018 in the smart buildings sector, which comply with our definition of being a Startup (See below). In addition to this Memoori identified 109 startups that have been acquired and 13 firms that filed for an IPO since 2009, amounting to over 600 active new entrants in the smart commercial buildings sector.

2018 has proved to be a record year for investment in the global smart buildings sector, with over $2.4 billion invested in startups; showing increased confidence by investors in the sector and indicating the positive response companies are receiving for their products and services in the market.

Our definition of a Startup is “A private company formed no earlier than 2009 that is focused on the commercial and industrial buildings market, is not a subsidiary or an acquisition of a larger company and is often financed by venture capital or private equity funding.”

What Will This Report Tell You?

The first Unicorn in the smart buildings space was created by the massive $1.1 billion investment in View Glass by Softbank Vision Fund. Even discounting the View investment, 2018 attracted total funding of over $1.3 billion in the commercial and industrial buildings space, still a record level of investment to date.
The number of funding rounds has risen to 184 in 2018. The capital invested in the global smart buildings sector has increased more than 6 times since 2012 with the sector attracting around $6.8 billion during this period.
We identified 109 acquisitions of startup companies over the last 7 years. 2018 accounted for over 37% of these emerging player deals confirming the consolidation trend and increasing recognition by potential acquirers of the benefits of closer collaboration with startups.

The information and analysis in this report is based on research and interviews with emerging players in the Smart Building Space. It benefits from Memoori’s previous reports over the last 2 years on subjects such as the Building Internet of Things (BIoT), Big Data, Security and Occupancy Analytics.

It demonstrates the critical contribution that Startups are making to the introduction of innovation in the Smart Buildings space.
