Biproxi

The firm's business model has evolved since its inception. Initially launched as a subscription-free listing service and transaction platform, Biproxi aimed to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for deals under $25 million. A significant milestone was the acquisition of OfficeSpace.com in February 2020, which allowed Biproxi to consolidate its listings onto a site that was already the second-largest in the U.S. for commercial listings. Following this acquisition, the Biproxi.com site pivoted to focus exclusively on providing marketing services and tools for brokers, including property photography, data reports, and advanced digital marketing campaigns through a service called Marketing Concierge. More recently, the platform has shifted to an invitation-only network called Biproxi Capital Network, which connects vetted sponsors and developers with institutional investors to facilitate capital raises for CRE projects across various asset classes.

The company's primary clients are CRE brokers, buyers, tenants, sponsors, and investors. Revenue generation appears to be multi-pronged, initially planning to charge transaction fees to buyers and later offering financing and premium data products. The current iteration as a capital network implies revenue may be derived from connecting sponsors with capital. The platform's key features include a proprietary dataset providing valuation data on millions of off-market properties, a service known as 'biproximate™' values, and tools that allow users to list, market, and transact entirely online. This approach was designed to give independent agents and smaller brokerages the resources to compete with larger firms by offering a single platform to manage deals from listing to closing. Biproxi secured $10 million in a seed funding round in September 2019, led by Greycroft, with participation from notable entities like Newmark Knight Frank and the National Association of Realtors.
