Placy: two-year journey from idea to €1M pre-seed

Hi, I’m Sergey Osipov @s_osipov, cofounder of Placy (AI real estate agent). Launched about 20 startups and had some exits, including a unicorn IPO. Sharing here my observations and tips for AI founders. Join! #AI #Startup #PropTech

We came up with the 😇Placy idea on Halloween 2 years ago. Took 7 months to build infra, open a Cyprus bank account (hardest part), and train bots to sell homes (related post). MVP in July, €1M pre-seed in September 2024. The first year moved incredibly fast!

Second year? We tested Placy Lead Qualification Tool (a text/voice bot integrated with CRM/WhatsApp/phone) with a half of hundred B2B clients. Most subscribed €6k/year. First revenue. Hurray (and relief)

Sacrificed rapid expansion and went for “prove PMF on a small pilot market” (related post). Now Placy leads its niche in Cyprus, expanding into Greece, Spain, and the UAE. Runway: 6 months. Boo

2024 was quick. 2025 feels like swimming through a swamp of custom integrations and tech debt. Diving deeper into the property deal workflow. Hiring more engineers…

1/3 of startups don't survive the second year. The future of AI is full of surprises. Placy’s here, still moving forward. Happy Halloween birthday, team! 🦄🎃
