CHAOS Raises €2M to Expand AI-Powered Location Intelligence for Real Estate
CHAOS, a Helsinki‑based location intelligence company that builds AI‑driven decision‑making software for the real estate industry, has raised €2 million in new funding to accelerate its product development and geographic expansion across the Nordics and the DACH region. Founded in 2017 with a mission to reinvent the global real estate sector through advanced data analytics and location intelligence, CHAOS uses artificial intelligence to transform scattered urban and market data into actionable insights that help property developers, investors, planners, and retailers make smarter, faster decisions about where to build, invest, and grow businesses.
The funding round includes participation from the company’s largest backer, Nidoco, a Swedish investment company focused on technology and innovation, and Finnvera, Finland’s state‑owned financing institution that supports growth and export‑oriented companies. Chaotic growth in demand for data‑driven decision tools across capital‑intensive industries like real estate has helped draw investor confidence, reflecting broader trends where AI analytics platforms are increasingly sought to interpret complex demographic, economic, and location datasets.
Founded by Natalia Rincón‑Eriksson (CEO) and Valeri Tsatsishvili (CPO & co‑founder), CHAOS has positioned itself as a critical partner for real estate professionals navigating markets where traditional datasets and fragmented information often slow strategic decisions. The company’s platform aggregates data on neighbourhood growth patterns, population movements, business performance and supply‑and‑demand dynamics, providing comprehensive insights that help clarify where opportunities exist — information that can be crucial in a sector where capital expenditures and land use decisions carry significant long‑term risk and reward.
With the €2 million injection of capital, CHAOS plans to expand its regional footprint and deepen its product suite, focusing on enhancing its AI components to support more sophisticated forecasting and predictive analytics for real estate investors, developers and retailers. These improvements aim to help users not only identify high‑value locations but understand evolving patterns of growth and opportunity, a shift from traditional, siloed analytics to more holistic, intelligence‑driven frameworks.
The platform’s ability to simplify and interpret multifaceted location data has appealed to investors who see a growing need for tools that support rapid, data‑backed decision‑making in an increasingly competitive and capital‑intensive property landscape. With real estate markets under pressure from inflation, remote work dynamics and shifting consumer behaviour, the need for real‑time, actionable insights has never been greater. CHAOS’s solution — which turns complex, often unsynchronised data into accessible, coherent insights — is designed to help companies mitigate risk and capitalise on patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
The company’s leadership has also stressed the broader importance of AI‑powered analytics in enabling smarter growth across urban environments. By consolidating data on demographic shifts, commercial activity, infrastructure development and property performance, CHAOS’s technology aims to give businesses a competitive edge in anticipating changes in demand, optimising asset portfolios and planning long‑term investments with greater confidence. These capabilities are especially valued as global markets become more uncertain and stakeholders seek ways to cut through noise and derive meaningful patterns from vast datasets.
While the Fédération of European real estate markets continues adapting to post‑pandemic economic trends, tools like CHAOS’s platform are increasingly helping investors and developers understand how cities and regions evolve — from shifts in commuter patterns to the growth of mixed‑use developments and retail footprints. AI‑driven solutions are rapidly gaining traction as the industry embraces automation, predictive modelling and real‑time data integration to stay ahead of competitors.
The funding round led by Nidoco and Finnvera comes at a time of heightened interest in technology companies that can tackle large‑scale, data‑intensive problems across established industries like real estate, logistics and urban planning. Such investments reflect both a belief in CHAOS’s proprietary technology and confidence in the market’s readiness for solutions that make sense of increasingly complex environmental and economic datasets.
With its latest funding secured and a focused roadmap for growth, CHAOS is poised to expand both its product capabilities and its geographical reach. The company’s leadership sees the new capital as key to accelerating innovation, building strategic partnerships, and equipping real estate professionals with the tools they need to navigate and shape dynamic urban landscapes.
As CHAOS continues its journey, the company stands as a testament to how AI‑based analytics and machine intelligence are reshaping decision‑making in sectors once dominated by intuition and static datasets, offering a more nuanced, empirical foundation for investment and development strategies.
