Geolava Raises $4.3M to Unlock Spatial Intelligence for Smarter Decisions Across the Built World
Emerging from stealth, the platform fuses live data with machine reasoning to transform property and infrastructure data into actionable insight.
[San Francisco, California and Toronto, Canada — July 29, 2025] Geolava, the spatial intelligence platform that provides reasoning logic about properties, today announced a $4.3 million seed round to accelerate the deployment of its autonomous spatial AI agents. The round is led by Luge Capital, an early-stage, fintech-focused venture capital firm, with additional backing from Suffolk Technologies and E2MC.
Geolava helps real estate owners, investors, lenders, and operators see beyond what exists on a property, including intelligence data to assess risk, value, and opportunity, both now and in the future. By fusing satellite, stratospheric, drone, and street-level imagery with regulatory data and predictive reasoning, Geolava’s customers can monitor property conditions, compliance, and climate exposure at scale, all without relying solely on consultants or on-site inspections.
“The most important asset of any developed economy is offline,” said Hantz Févry, Geolava’s founder and CEO. “We are transforming the offline physical world into an online intelligent environment.” Geolava builds on lessons from Févry’s previous location intelligence venture, Stoovo, which was acquired last year.
“Too many of the most consequential decisions in infrastructure, housing, and land use were being made with fragmented data and outdated tools that didn’t provide context or clarity,” he said. “We’re making the built world more observable, interpretable, and predictable.”
Geolava’s platform replaces slow, fragmented assessments with live spatial intelligence that’s easy to access and understand. By continuously synthesizing data from multiple sources, customers can instantly flag structural risks, anticipate regulatory changes, and identify hidden opportunities, whether they’re managing a single asset or a national portfolio.
The company is also preparing to roll out its developer SDK, which will allow enterprise users to build custom spatial agents tailored to their unique regulatory, environmental, or operational requirements, extending Geolava’s impact well beyond property assessments. Early investors say the platform is already reshaping how property data is gathered and understood.
“At Luge Capital, we back ambitious teams building foundational infrastructure for the next generation of financial services, real estate, and risk assessment,” said General Partner Karim Gilliani.
“Geolava is making the physical world searchable and turning scattered unstructured property data into real-time, actionable insights for large investors,” he said. “We’re thrilled to support Hantz and his team as they redefine how the built world is understood and valued.”
“Geolava is unlocking the full potential of geospatial data with AI — replacing outdated tools and manual workflows with real-time, actionable intelligence,” said Diana Kay, partner at Suffolk Technologies. “We back bold teams building the future of the built world, and Geolava stood out for its ability to transform how real estate professionals and their financial partners see, understand, and act on property information around them.”
“As satellite data continuously grows in volume, so does the value of geospatial intelligence applications,” said E2MC Founding Partner Raphael Roettgen. “As a space-specialized investor, E2MC is looking for top-tier teams executing on such opportunities in massive markets. We found exactly that in Geolava.”
Geolava will use its new funding to scale its spatial models, expand its technical team, and deliver insights faster for customers shaping the built environment at every level.
