Cortas, a Copenhagen-based proptech startup, has raised approximately €1.47 million (DKK 11 million) in a pre-seed funding round led by PSV Tech. The round included participation from JRNY Capital, the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO), and technology entrepreneurs associated with Danish companies Flatpay and Spirii.
Founded in 2026 by Christian Pind Schmidt and Frederik Buchardt, Cortas provides technology-enabled property management services to institutional real estate investors. Schmidt serves as CEO, while Buchardt is COO. Both previously worked at Danish real estate investment firm Thylander Group, where they gained experience managing institutional property investments.
Cortas combines professional property management with proprietary software developed in-house. Rather than selling software to existing property managers, the company uses its own platform to deliver property management services directly to clients.
Its services cover tenant communication, move-ins and move-outs, coordination of property operations, bookkeeping and financial administration. The platform uses AI and automation for routine administrative processes, including data updates, accounting controls and the handling of tenant requests.
The company’s approach is designed to reduce repetitive work while allowing property management professionals to focus on tenant relationships, commercial decisions and risk assessments.
The investment round also attracted individual investors, including Tore Harritshøj, co-founder of EV charging company Spirii, and entrepreneurs associated with Danish payments company Flatpay.
Cortas began developing its operating model and software in June 2026 and had signed its first property-investor customers by the time of the funding announcement.
The startup plans to use the new capital to further develop its technology, recruit additional employees and expand its presence in Denmark’s property management market.
