“The future will happen in buildings, with the most pressing challenges of our time being addressed through in-building technology,” says WireScore CEO and founder Arie Barendrecht.

Funding was led by Beringa, while Cushman & Wakefield, Crow Holdings and Taronga Ventures also participated. Existing core investors Fifth Wall, Bessemer Venture Partners and Jona Capital were involved as well.
