**[Video Description:](https://fifthwall.com/newslettersignup)**
Welcome to Fifth Wall’s YouTube channel! In this video, we are excited to announce the closing of our Real Estate Technology Fund III, totaling $866 million, making it the largest property technology (“PropTech”) fund in history. This milestone comes after the successful closing of our European Real Estate Technology Fund, bringing our total capital raised for PropTech investments to over $1 billion in the past year.
Fifth Wall Ventures Management LLC, the largest venture capital firm focused on technology for the global real estate industry, is proud to have garnered support from major investors, including Annaly Capital Management Inc., Arbor Realty Trust Inc., CBRE Group Inc., Equity Residential, and other renowned real estate companies. Despite challenges such as rising interest rates and a decline in home sales, these investors remain bullish on property startups.
Our Real Estate Technology Fund III is a hybrid fund, combining early-stage and late-stage vehicles. This marks a significant evolution for Fifth Wall, as our previous funds, Fund I and Fund II, were also the largest in the PropTech space at the time of closing. Alongside this milestone, we are pleased to have announced our inaugural $500 million Climate Fund in July 2022, further cementing our commitment to sustainability and environmental impact.

Fifth Wall is the largest venture capital firm focused on technology for the global real estate industry-and today we close our Real Estate Technology Fund Ill totaling $866 million. On the heels of our closing our European Real Estate Technology Fund, this brings our total capital raised toward property technology or “PropTech” investment to more than $1 billion over the last year.
This not only marks the largest property technology (“PropTech”) fund in history succeeding our Fund I and Fund II which were each respectively the largest PropTech funds at closing-it also represents Fifth Wall’s first hybrid fund, comprised of both early-stage and late-stage vehicles. This constitutes the our third fund close in 2022, as we also announced our inaugural $500 million Climate Fund in July of 2022.
More from The Wall Street Journal — Fifth Wall Ventures Management LLC raised the largest-ever venture fund focused on real-estate technology companies, the company said, a sign that some major investors are still bullish on property startups despite this year’s surge in interest rates.
The $866 million fund, which closed on Friday, will invest in both early- and late-stage startups. Annaly Capital Management Inc., Arbor Realty Trust Inc., CBRE Group Inc., Equity Residential and a number of other major real-estate companies invested in the fund.
The fund’s closing comes during a challenging time for property startups, which face higher borrowing costs. A number of real-estate technology companies, often known as proptech companies, have also been hit by the drop in home sales. That makes it harder for home flippers, mortgage marketplaces and similar businesses to make money.
“You’re just dealing with a world where macroeconomic conditions have changed dramatically,” said Fifth Wall’s managing partner, Brendan Wallace.
Higher rates and this year’s slide in technology stocks have also hit the valuations of private tech companies and made venture investors more reluctant to write big checks.
