Alate Partners empowers technology entrepreneurs who are rethinking real estate. Founded through a partnership between Dream and Relay Ventures, Alate is building an ecosystem that brings together leading proptech companies and influential real estate owners, operators, and managers.

Alate is a launching point for great ideas. We give entrepreneurs the support they need—whether that’s advice, funding, or a powerful introduction. We help real estate incumbents understand how emerging trends and technologies will impact their business and help find solutions to the industry’s biggest challenges. If solutions don’t exist, we work with our network to incubate ideas and build great teams to commercialize opportunities.

We believe real estate is about more than physical buildings—it’s about the people who live, work, shop, and play in them. By working with creative and visionary companies, we can use technology to make our homes and workplaces more personalized, efficient, and sustainable.
