About Brigade REAP

Brigade REAP is Asia’s earliest PropTech-focused accelerator. Named in 2020 as India’s Top Accelerator by Startup India, Brigade REAP has been a catalyst toward increased technology adoption by the Real Estate & Construction industry.

We onboard at least 10 startups every year and dive really deep into the trenches with each of these startups to work on their foundational layers. This helps them sharpen their value prop, identify their key customer base, discover pricing, go to market and eventually scale.

While we have built a solid foundation to create impact in the Urban Tech space, as we look ahead, we look to leverage this platform to propel the Urban Tech ecosystem at scale. We have set ourselves big dreams and even loftier goals, setting ourselves apart from competition. But we are aware, we can only do this if we have a stellar team who is passionate about our goals and vision.
