Qlip

What Qlip does

Qlip, commercially branded as Zenova, is a Madrid-based proptech founded in 2020 that operates a B2B SaaS platform for real estate companies to manage utility supplies (water, electricity, gas), invoices, and energy costs across their property portfolios. The platform is structured as three modules — Cambio de Suministros (Supply Switching) for digital activation and transfer of utilities, Facturas (Invoices) for centralized invoice control with dashboarding and reporting, and Optimización (Optimization) for tariff comparison, energy audits, and access to green energy suppliers to support ESG compliance. The technical backbone is a cloud-based multi-tenant platform with pre-built integrations into the dominant Spanish property management and accounting software stack (Sage, Inmovilla, A3 Satel, Rentger, Prinex, Homming, Inmoweb), enabling bidirectional data flow into customers' existing ERPs and property management systems.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from enterprise SaaS subscriptions sold to large Spanish real estate companies and real estate groups through a direct sales-led motion, with custom pricing based on portfolio size and integration scope billed annually. A secondary, non-revenue-generating consumer tier offers free utility connection and ownership transfer services to individual consumers (clientesb2c.zenovapro.com), which functions as a demand-generation funnel for the developer's enterprise clients (Metrovacesa, Greystar, Solvia, Culmia, Avalon, Azzam, Helphousing, Intrum) rather than a standalone revenue stream. Distribution is single-country (Spain/Europe) with a sales-led enterprise GTM supported by content marketing, organic social, and SEO.

The company has raised approximately $5 million across a 2020 seed and a 2021 round, both led by The Lab Ventures, operates with a leadership team of four co-founders (CEO Jaime González, CTO Pablo González, CPO Belén Pons, COO Daniel Romeral), employs 51-100 people, and claims 1,200+ real estate partners and 250,000+ procedures managed. Qlip itself appears as the legal entity and login portal (qlipmaster.com) while Zenova is the commercial platform brand.

Direct peers

• EnergyCAP: EnergyCAP is a SaaS platform for utility bill management, invoice automation, and energy/sustainability reporting across multi-site organizations. It is the closest international analog to Zenova's Facturas and Optimización modules, serving similar facility and property management buyers.
• Lucid (BuildingOS): Lucid's BuildingOS aggregates building utility and operational data to enable energy optimization and ESG reporting for real estate portfolios. It competes head-to-head with Zenova's energy optimization and invoice analytics capabilities for mid-market and enterprise portfolios.
• Measurabl: Measurabl is a SaaS platform focused on ESG and energy performance data for real estate portfolios. It overlaps with Zenova's Optimización module around green energy procurement, ESG compliance, and consumption analytics for property owners.
• UtilityAPI: UtilityAPI provides automated utility data access and meter data management for buildings and energy programs. It is comparable to Zenova's underlying data infrastructure layer for utility supply switching and consumption reporting.
• VTS: VTS is a commercial real estate operations platform combining leasing, asset management, and tenant experience. It competes with Zenova for the same property operations buyer and increasingly bundles energy and utility workflows into its portfolio OS.

Broad incumbents

• Yardi: Yardi is a large incumbent property management software suite serving residential and commercial real estate. It overlaps with Zenova through ERP integration partnerships and represents both a partner (today) and a potential competitor if it natively expands into utility management.
• RealPage: RealPage is a broad property management and resident services platform for multifamily and commercial real estate. It competes for the same enterprise budget as Zenova and could disintermediate utility and invoice workflows through its own product suite.
• AppFolio: AppFolio provides cloud property management software for residential and commercial operators. While primarily property accounting and operations, it sits adjacent to Zenova's ERP-integrated invoice automation value proposition.
• MRI Software: MRI Software is a global property and investment management platform used by large residential and commercial portfolios. It is comparable to Zenova's enterprise customer base and competes for the same utility, invoice, and energy optimization wallet.

Regional players

• Spotahome: Spotahome is a Spanish-founded proptech focused on mid-to-long-term rental operations across Europe. While not a direct utility management competitor, it operates in the same Iberian proptech ecosystem and serves overlapping flex-living and build-to-rent customer segments.
