The pre-seed round was led by Bijan Morvaridi to support product development and regulatory engagement.

"Having worked in the restaurant business for years, I know how important personal service is. OpenFi’s technology is the first AI application I’ve experienced that felt human and personal, that’s why I am backing the company."

The funding round was led by Beringea with participation from Grosvenor Property UK, The Conduit Impact Fund, Concrete Ventures, Oxford Innovation Finance and Foundation Ventures.

"We’re super excited to be joining forces with these leaders in placemaking and proptech to accelerate our mission to inspire thriving places, powered by insights and collaboration. Moving beyond our sector’s aspiration to deliver social value, our work will allow users to define, plan for, target and then evidence the positive impact their buildings and places have on those who live and work in them. Just as environmental measurement frameworks are now supporting our decarbonisation journey, Commonplace’s increased product focus on social value will become a critical support to analyse and understand the ‘S’ in ESG."
— Mike Saunders, Co-founder and CEO
