The Situation

Optiml, an ETH Zürich spin-off, raised an oversubscribed €8M Seed round to accelerate the growth of its AI-driven Real Estate Decision Intelligence platform.

Operating at the intersection of AI, finance, and real estate, the company had already built strong traction with institutional clients and was preparing to scale across Europe and the US. The financing process required careful structuring, clear alignment among investors, and documentation that would support long-term growth without creating unnecessary complexity.

Our Approach

Alfred supported Optiml throughout the transaction, advising on the structuring and documentation of the Seed round.

We worked closely with the founders to negotiate and draft the investment documentation, ensure a balanced governance setup, and maintain flexibility for future financing rounds. Throughout the process, our focus was on clarity, efficiency, and keeping momentum high while protecting the company’s long-term interests.

The Impact

Optiml successfully closed its €8M Seed round and is now scaling its platform and team internationally.

With a clean capital structure and well-aligned governance framework in place, the company is positioned to focus on growth and execution without legal friction.

“Alfred combined strong legal expertise with a pragmatic approach. They helped us close an oversubscribed round efficiently while setting the right foundations for our next stage of growth.” Dr. Evan Petkov, CEO, Optiml
