If you asked me five years ago to name a proptech company from BC, I probably would’ve said, “What’s proptech?”

But today? It’s clear: real estate tech is no longer just a Toronto story.

Four BC startups were just named to the 2025 Proptech 30, a national spotlight on companies transforming how we build, insure, sell, and live. And the best part? These companies aren’t just riding the wave—they’re making it.

Below, meet the local leaders bringing energy efficiency into your windows, tenant insurance into the digital age, and AI-powered intelligence into the most old-school industry of all: real estate.

Spark

Spark offers an end-to-end sales, marketing, and customer care platform tailored for new real estate developments. Used by developers across North America, Spark helps manage the full customer journey for new home sales. The company recently acquired Juniper Homeowner Care to integrate post-construction support and launched Glimpse to expand its service offerings.

Properate

Properate simplifies the process of home energy efficiency upgrades using public data and proprietary algorithms. Its tools support homeowners, governments, and enterprises working to improve residential energy performance. In British Columbia, Properate powers the province-wide Home Energy Planner, which is designed to help millions of residents reduce their environmental footprint.

APOLLO Insurance

APOLLO Insurance is transforming insurance with a digital-first approach, offering seamless tenant insurance solutions for renters and property managers. The company partners with over 100 property management firms across Canada and recently launched FinShore, a buy-now-pay-later subsidiary supported by $18.5 million in financing, to make premium payments more flexible.

Miru Smart Technologies

Miru Smart Technologies develops electrochromic (“smart”) windows that dynamically adjust to light and heat, improving energy efficiency and comfort in buildings. Backed by $27.4M in Series A financing, the company is preparing for large-scale deployment, with a goal of installing 10 million square feet of eWindows by 2028.
