Investment in Realforce
Gothenburg, Sweden – July 18th, 2023 – Realforce
The marketing platform company–founded in Gothenburg–now serves customers in Sweden, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and aims to simplify the complexities of marketing for the real estate industry.
Their mission “to bring market-leading MarTech” to a global market with a history of being slow to tech adoption, due to its elongated customer journey and traditional reliance on human interaction, is no small feat. But where their early competitors diverted their attention to other markets, Realforce has remained committed to real estate, addressing one specific, industry-unique challenge after another.
Today, with a significant financial and strategic contribution from a number of heavyweight investors, Realforce celebrates the opportunity to improve and expand its platform, with a product launch scheduled for later this year.

“This vote of confidence from Spiltan, and all our investors, is recognition of the potential that we have long believed exists in real estate; the potential for MarTech to revolutionise a multi-million dollar industry by simplifying the daily tasks of agents, through the use of innovative technology. This capital gives us the opportunity to further innovate, whilst ensuring the security of our platform, regardless of market conditions.
We thank all our investors for their commitment to supporting Realforce in the next step of our journey.”
