Brickwise

What Brickwise does

Brickwise is a Vienna-headquartered, Munich-registered (Brickwise Investment GmbH) fintech founded in 2019 that operates a mobile-first digital platform for tokenized real estate investment. The company enables retail investors to purchase fractional, blockchain-based shares (digital property shares) of income-producing Austrian real estate starting at €100, with monthly rental distributions and a liquid secondary marketplace. Each tokenized security is assigned an ISIN by the Austrian Kontrollbank (OeKB) and recorded on the proprietary Brickprotocol blockchain, with a collective lien (Kollektivpfandrecht) registered in the land registry to provide legal security for all token holders. Property appraisal is conducted by court-appointed independent experts, and biometric two-factor authentication (FaceID/fingerprint/PIN) via a dedicated Security App secures every transaction.

The platform is BaFin-supervised (register 80174029) as a bound agent under §3(2) WpIG and MiFID II, operating through Effecta GmbH, and offers B2B whitelabel apps for partners (including a dedicated energy white-label) and a separate 'GREEMER' app launched in August 2023 with Greeninfra for tokenized renewable energy investments. Revenue is generated primarily through a 1.5% transaction fee on each buy or sell order, with no account, deposit, or custody fees. Distribution is digital-only (iOS/Android app, web app, marketplace), supplemented by event sponsorships (Erste Bank Open), TV and podcast appearances, earned media, and a referral program. The company raised a €3.1 million seed round led by yabeo in December 2021 and received an additional million-euro commitment from SevenVentures Austria in 2022, and is preparing expansion into Germany with extensions into tokenized renewable energy and FlexCo-equity trading.

Core offering

Brickwise operates a regulated digital marketplace that tokenizes income-producing Austrian real estate into tradable digital property shares (genusscheine). Retail investors buy fractional ownership from €100 via a mobile app, receive monthly rental income distributions, and trade shares on a secondary marketplace. Each security is issued an ISIN by the Austrian Kontrollbank (OeKB) and backed by a collective lien registered in the land registry.

Product overview

Brickwise operates as a unified digital investment platform with three interconnected core products: the Brickwise App (mobile application for iOS/Android) for discovering and managing real estate investments, the Brickwise Security App for securing shares and signing transactions, and the Brickwise Marketplace for secondary trading of digital property shares. The platform also offers B2B solutions including the Whitelabel Apps and Whitelabel Energy Solution for partners to launch branded investment platforms. Additional offerings include Impact Investments for sustainable energy projects and Brickwise.immo for property sellers. All investments are tokenized securities (genusscheine) based on the Brickprotocol blockchain, starting at €100, with no fixed terms and monthly rental income distributions.

Direct peers

• Zinsland: German digital real estate investment platform offering mezzanine and debt investments in property projects to retail investors. Comparable DACH-region competitor for digital access to real estate returns, though focused on debt instruments rather than equity/fractional ownership.
• SolidBlock: Blockchain-based platform for tokenizing real estate assets, enabling fractional ownership and trading. Directly comparable as a tokenized real estate securities platform with similar regulatory ambitions and target customers (accredited and retail investors seeking exposure to property via blockchain).
• Exporo: German real estate crowdfunding platform allowing retail investors to participate in property projects from €500. Direct competitor in the DACH region for digital real estate investment, though using traditional crowdfunding structure rather than blockchain tokenization.
• RealT: US-based tokenized real estate platform offering fractional ownership of income-producing rental properties starting from low minimums. Closest direct competitor in business model (blockchain-tokenized property shares with rental distributions and secondary trading), though operating under US regulatory framework rather than EU MiFID II/BaFin.
• EstateGuru: Europe's largest marketplace for short-term real estate financing and investment, operating in multiple EU countries including Germany. Comparable in target market (European retail real estate investors) and category (digital real estate investment), though it focuses on crowdlending for property developers rather than equity tokenization.
• Lofty: AI-powered tokenized real estate marketplace enabling fractional ownership of rental properties with daily rental income distributions. Comparable product offering (fractional tokenized property with rental yield), targeting similar retail investor demographic in the US market.

Others

• Tangany: German BaFin-regulated crypto custody and tokenization infrastructure provider serving European fintechs. Adjacent enabler — could be a partner or competitor depending on vertical integration, but directly comparable as a regulated German tokenization platform serving the same compliance-heavy market.

Regional players

• Crowdhouse: Swiss digital platform for direct real estate investment and co-ownership. Comparable in product (fractional property ownership) and target customer (retail investors seeking property exposure), though operating in Switzerland rather than Austria/Germany.

Emerging players

• Bitbond: German fintech offering tokenization infrastructure for SMEs and real-world assets, with BaFin registration. Adjacent competitor in the German tokenization space with regulatory alignment, though focused on broader asset tokenization rather than exclusively real estate.

Broad incumbents

• Property Finder / Immoscout24: Established Austrian/German real estate listing and brokerage platforms serving the broader property market. Not a direct tokenization competitor, but represents incumbent channels Brickwise disrupts for retail investor capital allocation toward real estate.
