Fifth Wall

Today Fifth Will is proud to announce the launch of Fifth Wall Securities, a FINRA registered broker-dealer focused on delivering high-quality advisory services to its clients. Most recently, Fifth Wall Securities served as an advisor to @IndustriousHQ, a Fifth Wall portfolio company and a leading provider of flexible workplace solutions, in its definitive agreement to be acquired by @CBRE, announced on January 14th, 2025. Fifth Wall has a long history of accelerating the growth of our 150+ portfolio companies through highly strategic engagements with our 110+ strategic LPs. Since the Firm’s inception in 2016, we have helped raise $670M+ of strategic capital across our portfolio and formed 36 SPVs for our portfolio companies. We have also worked across our portfolio and LP network to help form strategic partnerships, such as the Opendoor-Lennar partnership, CBRE-VTS investment, and Lessen-SMS Assist merger. We’ve also been involved in advising successful businesses with our LPs like Pathway Homes with Invitation Homes. Additionally, Fifth Wall affiliates have successfully sponsored and executed two SPACs, Fifth Wall portfolio company SmartRent's merger with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I and Mobile Infrastructure Corporation’s merger with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III. For more about Fifth Wall Securities, please read our full press release: prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Fifth Wall’s Brendan Wallace On a New Fund, the CBRE-Industrious Deal and More trib.al/hRNtA14

Big news in PropTech this morning: @CBRE, one of @fifthwallvc's first and largest strategic investors, has acquired @IndustriousHQ one of our earliest and most significant investments. This is a monumental deal and a major validation for the PropTech industry. A bit of history here: Industrious wasn't always the obvious winner. When Fifth Wall invested in 2018, the flex office space was dominated by WeWork, backed by nearly every major VC and institutional investor. Betting on Industrious at the time was a contrarian move—one that proved prescient. Industrious pioneered a management model more aligned with landlords, reminiscent of hotel management, and that approach reshaped the industry. Today, Industrious has worked with more than 15 of Fifth Wall's strategic LPs, and their platform has grown exponentially. This acquisition reflects years of thoughtful strategy, execution, and partnership. Congratulations to @JamieHodari and the Industrious team—what an incredible journey. And congrats to CBRE on such a bold and transformative move. We couldn't be more excited to see what's next and to continue our partnership.

We’re proud to announce a growth equity investment led by @FTVCapital, with participation from @fifthwallvc and Lead Edge Capital! 🎉 Learn more about this investment and what it means for you: hubs.li/Q032rXSq0

Yesterday we hosted Fifth Wall AI Day to hear from leading real estate owners, investors, and technology entrepreneurs on artificial intelligence's impacts on real estate—today and in the future.

We're excited to welcome @kiterealtygroup into our Limited Partner network.

🪨 Fifth Wall CEO & CIO @BrendanFWallace will be giving a fireside chat with @BrimstoneEnergy Co-founder and CEO Cody Finke, Ph.D. at HackSummit on December 13th in at @Newlab in Brooklyn. Brimstone is working hard to make a carbon-negative alternative to ordinary Portland cement commercially viable, that also meets the industry standards for use and safety. In this video, Brendan and Cody discuss Brimstone meeting the ASTM C150 standard, and why this key nod of approval is a big step on their journey to making their cement ubiquitous.

Congratulations to our CEO & CIO @BrendanFWallace and Partner Sarah Liu for being named to @Inman's Best of Proptech List.

💼 What should proptech entrepreneurs focus on when starting and building their companies? Fifth Wall CEO & CIO @BrendanFWallace and @MetaPropNYC Co-Founder and General Partner Zach Aarons discuss what founders should be thinking about. 1. Domain expertise matters. Prior experience in real estate or at a technology startup goes a long way, and it's a great thing to see in a founding team. (Of course this is not a golden rule, and good ideas can come from anywhere.) 2. Product, marketing, and sales all matter. Don't focus on one too much, at the detriment of another: you shouldn't be all sales and no marketing, nor should you be all marketing and no product. They might not all be a 10 out of 10, but it's a balance. They're all key things, and Zach has seen this mistake made a lot. 3. Speak the language of the real estate industry, and understand that your end user wants to see near-immediate return-on-investment when adopting your tech product. Master articulating how your product creates efficiency and improves margins for your end user.

We led @fractionalapp's $15 million Series A.

Our team had a great time featuring our portfolio companies building climate tech for the built environment at VERGE 24 in San Jose, California! Thank you to @trellisgroup_ for hosting this event, and for our portfolio companies for joining us: @Merlin_Solar, Twelve, Mojave Energy Systems, @evrealtyus, @emrgyinc, @SOLARCYCLEUS, @Electric_H2, @WildcatBattery, and @BrimstoneEnergy.

We led Merlin Solar Technologies's $31 million Series B. Saint-Gobain and Ayala Corporation also invested. Merlin makes flexible solar panels that are much more lightweight than a traditional solar panel, meaning they can be installed (via an adhesive sticker) in places that other solar panels can't be. We are excited to work with the Merlin team in their next phase of growth. techcrunch.com/2024/10/27/mer…
