Giraffe360

Giraffe360, a Latvian-born proptech technology company, continues to strengthen its global position with significant investment and strategic growth initiatives, reinforcing Latvia’s reputation as a place where technology innovation and international success intersect. Founded in Riga in 2016 by brothers Mikus and Madars Opelts, the company has pioneered high-quality 3D property imaging solutions and virtual tours for the real estate industry.

The investment was directed toward accelerating the development and commercialisation of the company’s next-generation Go Cam — a lightweight, high-performance camera that captures automated real estate photography, accurate floor plans, and immersive virtual tours with enhanced speed and user-friendly interfaces. This innovation further positions Giraffe360 as a leader in transforming property marketing and listing content creation worldwide.

Although Giraffe360’s headquarters has moved to London, its technological roots remain in Latvia, where the company originally developed the core algorithms, robotics, and imaging technologies that form the basis of its platform. Today, the company serves clients in more than 30 countries, with its camera and AI-powered solutions widely adopted by real estate brands and agencies looking for efficient ways to digitise property listings.

Since its founding, Giraffe360 has expanded from a team of just six in 2016 to a workforce exceeding 200 professionals operating across multiple locations, including Riga, Liepāja, London, Manchester, and Miami. This growth underscores the company’s evolving international footprint while still maintaining deep ties to its Latvian origins.

From its early days as a Riga-based startup to its current status as a proptech innovator backed by international capital, Giraffe360’s journey exemplifies Latvia’s capacity to nurture globally competitive technology companies. Its robotic imaging systems and subscription-based service model address real estate professionals’ needs for immersive virtual content, enabling faster and more engaging property listings.

As demand for digital real estate tools continues to grow — particularly with hybrid and remote business models becoming mainstream — Giraffe360 is well positioned to expand both its technology offerings and its global market share. Its continued investments in technology infrastructure and product development affirm Latvia’s strategic role in fostering high-impact tech companies that export innovation worldwide.
