About Optiml

Optiml is fast-growing PropTech startup with a mission to revolutionize investment decisions for real estate. We spun out of ETH Zurich in fall 2022 and raised money from top-notch US & EU funds: Innovation Endeavors (San Francisco – fund of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt) and Planet A (Berlin). Since then, we have rolled out our product across DACH + UK and raised $6M in the last 18mo, now with the team being 20 Optimists. We have won major awards and have a vision to create a new software category of Real Estate Decision Intelligence. In short: although we’re only two years old, we’re at the stage where we need more entrepreneurial and talented people to join our team as we expand our footprint.
