What PropertyFirst.com does

PropertyFirst.com is an online marketplace for the commercial real estate industry, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Mumbai, India. The firm was backed by several prominent late-1990s venture investors — Amerindo Investment Advisors, Brentwood Venture Capital, Oak Investment Partners, Wolfson Group, and Times Mirror Corporation — and raised approximately $44.3M across two 1999-vintage funding rounds, led at different points by Amerindo/Oak and Brentwood. Founder Karan Solanki is the only named executive in the source data.

The company currently lists 11–50 employees. The publicly accessible website (propertyfirst.com) displays only a browser verification interstitial and offers no product, pricing, customer, technology, distribution, or operational content. No customers, distribution channels, marketing channels, partnerships, awards, certifications, app listings, integrations, regulatory actions, M&A activity, or leadership changes are documented in the source material. The absence of substantive public information, combined with the dormant appearance of the website, indicates either a very limited ongoing public footprint or a substantially scaled-down operating posture relative to its late-1990s venture backing. No details are available on revenue model, pricing, customer segments, or geographic footprint beyond the Mumbai headquarters.
