We saw a gap no one else could fill.

Energy audits are a $3B+ annual market, deployed across thousands of buildings, but stuck in the 1990s: manual, expensive, slow, and non-scalable. We built AI that does in minutes what took consultants weeks, at 5% of the cost and 1% of the time. We deployed it into the fastest-growing beachhead in commercial real estate: responsible investing.

“Climate risk is investment risk. In the near future, and sooner than most anticipate, there will be a significant reallocation of capital.”

- Larry Fink, Chairman & CEO, BlackRock

In 2025, things changed.

2023-20242025

Political

ESG backlash, regulatory uncertainty, mandate rollbacks.

Technological

AI commoditized overnight. LLMs collapsed the moat around "AI-powered."

Market

Buyers and investors retrenched to the near term. Quick wins over long-term value protection.

Strategic

Audette proved too vertical. Sales cycles too long. ACV out of balance with CAC.

“In 2025, we removed [ESG] from more than 50 European strategies impacting $51 billion in assets. The language became too politicized to be useful.”

- Larry Fink, Chairman & CEO, BlackRock

And so we adapted.

From product to infrastructure.

AI agents that embed directly into institutional CRE workflows. Not a dashboard. Not a report. Autonomous intelligence that ingests, reasons, and acts on building data at the point of decision.

Serving every dimension of building modernization risk: energy security, business continuity, market price of carbon, investor sentiment. Be in every transaction.

Embed upstream. Efficiency through network. Monetize downstream.

1. Embed across the value chain

MCP-native agents that interface with any AI workflow. Tokenized purchasing: per-query, per-building, per-transaction. Present wherever decisions touch building data.

2. Partner with service providers

Fill the consulting gap by arming engineering firms and advisors with our intelligence. Better margins for them. Distribution at zero CAC for us.

3. Capture downstream revenue

High-quality project recommendations drive implementation work. Service providers who benefit from our analysis become a recurring revenue channel.

A working example.

Starwood Capital needed to automate ESG due diligence across acquisitions. We consulted on the build of their AI co-pilot and deployed it in two weeks.

We sit in a licensable data ecosystem

Audette plugs in next to the dataroom, GRESB, climate risk APIs, and cashflow models.

We consult on the build

Audette consults on the bespoke code that connects these sources into an AI agent purpose-built for Starwood's investment process.

The agent produces a capital strategy

Not just compliance answers. Retrofit ROI modeled against the hold-period cashflow. Transition risk priced into the bid. IC gets a complete investment picture.

Higher-value outcome for the client. Recurring revenue for us.

Starwood gets ahead of the market. We get embedded in every acquisition they run, and share in the projects that result.

Not “AI-powered” SaaS. True Agentic AI.

Old

User-driven. Every workflow requires manual input.

Task-isolated. One action at a time, no context.

Static logic. Follows predefined rules, no learning.

Siloed tools. Requires integrations for every data source.

Rigid. Breaks when conditions change.

New

Autonomous. Operates with minimal supervision.

Goal-directed. Works toward outcomes, not isolated actions.

Multi-step planning. Decomposes complex objectives into sub-tasks.

Tool orchestration. Calls APIs, databases, and other agents.

Adaptive. Adjusts strategy based on feedback and environment.

“Jobs of 15 people can be done with a chatbot that costs $36 a month. AI is going to change the world faster than anything we've ever seen.”

Barry Sternlicht, CEO, Starwood Capital

“AI will impact 95% of jobs across the real estate workforce, making every task faster, smarter, and more cost-effective.”

Tim Breslin, SVP Technology, AvalonBay

“We're integrating carbon planning directly into our asset management decisions. Every investment choice now has a lens towards where the property needs to be.”

Paul Rode, Tishman Speyer

Six years of compounding advantage.

Proprietary Data

Domain Codification

50+ years of engineering logic encoded into inference rules. Not prompted.

Institutional Trust

GRESB, USGBC LEED v5 certified pathway. Not self-proclaimed.

Data Flywheel

Every building analyzed makes the next one better. Compounding by design.

In their own words.

“Before, we had no way to quantify transition risk during due diligence. With Audette, not only can we quantify it, but we can understand it to make real decisions. That's not something we've ever been able to do before.”

VP Sustainability, Madison International Realty

“What I care about is decarbonization intelligence so I can think about capital allocation at scale. You spoke the language of engineering as well as asset management, and provided a very clear capital planning tool. That really set you apart.

Mauricio Serna

Global Head of Sustainability, Starwood Capital

Repositioning requires recapitalization.

Raise $2M to recapitalize and fund the pivot. The current cap table cannot absorb it.
What you get Ground-floor stake in a derisked AI play (hardened team, $15M invested, problem-solution fit proven) · Unprecedented ownership position (recap creates clean entry) · Proprietary data moat that took 6 years to build · Institutional customer base (Blackstone, Starwood, JPMorgan) · Team that has done the hardest part already
Use Ship the MCP infrastructure · Lock down the partner network · Accelerate category awareness
Structure Open to discussion.
