Breezy Raises $10M in Pre-Seed Funding for AI Platform Aimed at Real Estate Professionals in LA

Early 2024, Los Angeles. James Harris had a problem that money could not smooth over. 25 years selling luxury homes taught Harris how to close, but it also taught him how broken the stack was. Six tools open, notes everywhere, spreadsheets pretending to be memory. Residential real estate runs on movement, yet the software asks agents to sit still. Breezy started there, not as an idea, but as friction that refused to stay quiet.

Harris did not pitch a vision deck first. He pressure-tested his own days. Meetings, calls, comps, follow-ups, zoning questions clients ask mid-sentence. Breezy became the place those moments landed. A mobile-first AI operating system built for agents who work out of their phones, not behind a desk. Clean interface, unified workflow, intelligence that listens while the agent talks. Breezy is not trying to sound smart. It is trying to keep agents sharp.

The company just closed a $10 million pre-seed round, oversubscribed. Ribbit Capital led, with Fifth Wall, DST Global, Liquid 2 Ventures, O.G. Venture Partners, and angels Fidji Simo and David Marcus joining the table. No prior institutional capital. No warm-up lap. Just conviction behind founder-market fit and timing that finally feels honest.

Nick Molnar and Anthony Eisen joined as co-founders, bringing Afterpay scar tissue and the kind of scale memory you cannot Google. Raphael Khalili and Benjamin Khalili came in with long-view capital and patience. This is not a tourist lineup. This is a group that understands infrastructure, not features, and knows when consumer behavior is ready to move.

200-plus agents across the United States are already shaping the product in beta. The waitlist opened February 3, 2026. A broader U.S. launch is targeted for the first half of 2026. Breezy’s proprietary Underbuilt platform pulls zoning and buildability into the conversation, revealing development potential hiding in plain sight. Comps generate in minutes. Conversations turn into memory. Pipelines update without begging the agent to type.

Residential real estate is a $500 billion services industry with over two million agents in the U.S. alone and more than twenty million globally. Most are still running on tools that never learned their names. Breezy feels light by design, but there is real weight underneath it. The kind that makes you wonder how long agents will tolerate anything heavier when the breeze finally feels this organized.
