What Henry does

Henry is an AI copilot for commercial real estate (CRE) brokers that seamlessly integrates a brokerage’s internal data set with external sources to generate custom presentations and financial modeling for deals. Our mission is to help CRE brokers close more deals faster, earning more while doing less repetitive work. We’re initially focusing on enabling brokers to generate deal decks in seconds - a task that typically consumes 20+ hours a week across multiple departments within a brokerage.

Automating Deal Decks for Commercial Real Estate Brokers

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI assistant that helps commercial real estate brokers generate deal decks in seconds by combining their internal data with public sources. Our product automates the 20+ hours a week brokers and their teams spend creating presentations and financial models, letting them close deals faster and with less repetitive work.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in New York, NY. We would keep the company based in NYC after YC because that's where our customers and industry expertise are concentrated.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose New York because it's a global hub for commercial real estate, which makes it easier to understand our users and iterate quickly. The proximity to our initial customers helps us build relevant features fast.
