The story

Founded in 2018 by VTS and JLL alums as a tenant-side counterweight to the landlord-dominated CRE software market. Originally focused on offices, the platform expanded across retail, restaurants, healthcare, and fitness as ASC 842 / IFRS 16 created urgent demand for lease accounting automation. The 2025 leadership change and $16M growth round mark a push into AI-powered lease abstraction, repositioning Occupier from a workflow tool to a lease intelligence platform.
