eVoost AI, an Abu Dhabi-based proptech founded in 2024 by Cristian Pastrana, raised seed funding from Qora71, marking the syndicate's first lead investment. The startup uses emotional profiling and behavioural segmentation to deploy AI-powered virtual agents for real estate buyers, offering tailored property suggestions and analytics. Funds will go toward the global expansion of its digital sales infrastructure. Backed by Qora71's network of 114 angels, eVoost has signed $1.9B in GMV, entered talks for $1.5B more, and partnered with a UAE developer to run digital sales funnels across the US, Europe, and Latin America. Press release: eVoost AI, an Abu Dhabi-based proptech startup revolutionising digital real estate sales through emotion-driven AI, has secured an undisclosed amount in seed funding from Qora71. The investment marks Qora71's first lead investment since its formation and reinforces the firm's growing focus on proptech innovation. Founded in 2024 by Cristian Pastrana, eVoost AI leverages emotional profiling and behavioural segmentation to power AI-native virtual agents that guide real estate buyers with personalised property recommendations and real-time analytics. The company plans to use the newly raised capital to scale its global rollout and further develop its AI-driven infrastructure for digital property sales. As part of the partnership, Qora71 will support eVoost through its syndicate network of 114 angel investors to help the startup secure new projects and market penetration. 'eVoost's strong GMV at the seed stage, exclusive-contracts model, and experienced founding team were key factors in our decision to lead this round,' said Qora71 founder Youssef Salem. eVoost has already signed USD 1.9 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV), is in late-stage negotiations for an additional USD 1.5 billion, and has activated 197 real estate units across five projects. The company is also partnering with an Emirati developer to manage digital real estate sales funnels across the US, Europe, and Latin America.

The syndicate recently led the pre-seed round for Roomz and previously backed startups like Partment and Hotdesk, with additional deals in the pipeline, Salem noted.
