ArchiPro is a New Zealand-based technology company that operates an all-in-one online platform connecting homeowners with architects, designers, builders, and product suppliers to simplify the architectural and building process.[1][2][4] It serves homeowners seeking inspiration, project planning, and professional connections, while enabling businesses in design and construction to showcase work, generate leads, and sell products, addressing the fragmented nature of the building journey.[1][2][4] With reported 2024 revenue of $419.1 million, $35 million in funding, and around 139 employees, ArchiPro demonstrates strong growth momentum, expanding from New Zealand to Australia and launching platform version 3.0 in 2023.[2][4]
ArchiPro was founded in September 2014 in Auckland, New Zealand, by entrepreneurs including Brittany (last name not specified in sources), driven by their personal frustrations with the building process—such as hunting for inspiration without practical details on architects, builders, materials, or products.[3][4] With backgrounds in building projects and selling to specifiers, builders, and homeowners, the founders created a centralized platform around three pillars: Products, Professionals, and Projects, aiming to streamline design, inspiration, and construction for Kiwis.[4][5] Early traction was rapid; by 2018, it achieved over 1 million platform visits and 160,000 registered users, establishing it as one of New Zealand's fastest-growing tech startups.[3] Expansion followed, with an Australian launch in 2021 supported by teams in Sydney and Melbourne.[4]
(Note: Sources distinguish this ArchiPro from a U.S.-based recruitment firm focused on architecture talent.[6])
ArchiPro rides the wave of digital marketplaces transforming fragmented industries like construction and home building, where online platforms aggregate supply chains amid rising demand for streamlined renovation and new-build experiences.[1][2] Timing aligns with post-pandemic housing booms in Australia and New Zealand, fueled by remote work, sustainability focus, and e-commerce adoption in professional services.[4] Market forces favoring it include a growing database of 160,000+ users (as of 2018, likely larger now) and $35M funding, enabling cross-border expansion.[2][3][4] It influences the ecosystem by setting standards for inspiration-driven discovery, reducing barriers for homeowners, and empowering SMEs in design/construction to compete digitally, much like Houzz or Zillow in other markets.[1][5]
ArchiPro is poised for accelerated international growth, building on its $419M revenue base and Australian foothold to target similar markets in Asia-Pacific amid urbanization trends.[2][4] Key shapers include AI-enhanced personalization for project matching, deeper e-commerce integration, and sustainability features aligning with green building mandates. Its influence could evolve from regional disruptor to global proptech leader, further simplifying builds as digital adoption surges—echoing its origin as a solution to real-world frustrations, now scaling visions worldwide.[1][4]
ArchiPro has raised $33.0M in total across 1 funding round.
ArchiPro's investors include Defy Partners, Greylock, Marin Sonoma Impact Ventures, Social Capital, Tiger Global Management.
