Portfolio news: 47 fewer tenant calls a week.

Elite Agent has profiled Crayons CRM, the AI assistant built by Brisbane property manager Russell Peter and marketer Milo Holmes. At Pure Real Estate it answers the repetitive leasing and tenancy questions - with image analysis for the "what does this look like" ones - and the team has stopped taking 47 calls a week as a result.

That number is why we like this story. Not "efficiency" or "transformation". A count of calls that no longer need a human, measured in one office, that a principal can check against their own phone log.

Crayons CRM won the People's Choice Award at Top of the Props 2026 and is part of the REACH Australia and New Zealand portfolio. The MarketScale pick-up in the US followed two days later.

Do not take our word for it.

"This was the best decision we made as a business. We've doubled our business in 12 months." That is Taylor Coleman of Tapi, Class of 2023, and he said it unprompted.

Every alum is findable. Ask them what happened after the program ended, whether the introductions were real, and who picked up the phone when a partnership got difficult. Judge us on their answers, not ours.

REACH Australia and New Zealand has backed 50+ regional companies since 2019 - a stake in more than 10% of the ANZ proptech community. The alumni network is the part of the program that compounds.

What a year in the program actually looks like.

It is event-driven, on purpose. Genesis in March puts the new cohort in a room with mentors and the wider portfolio for the first time. Top of the Props puts you on a stage in front of the industry. LIFT with the REIQ puts you in front of the agents and principals who buy. The global Portfolio Summit puts you alongside almost 400 REACH companies from every program worldwide.

In between: mentorship, introductions through every Real Estate Institute in the region, and a team that answers the phone.

None of it works if you are not in the room. That is the whole model.

Who should apply?

Proptech companies in Australia or New Zealand that are past the idea stage. A product in market, early customers, and a founder who wants to scale faster than they can alone.

It does not matter whether you sell to agents, property managers, developers, investors or tenants. Since 2019 we have backed 50+ regional companies across every corner of the sector, and the ones that get the most out of the program are the ones who turn up with real questions.

Not ready this year? Tell us anyway. Next year's cohort usually starts with a conversation the year before.

Portfolio news: FLK it over and Kolmeo have announced an integration.

Signed lease agreements now land automatically in the correct tenancy record in Kolmeo. No downloading, renaming or re-uploading between the two platforms.

Elite Agent reports the partnership is aimed at a specific finding: 65% of property managers say work regularly falls through the cracks because of systems and processes.

This is the unglamorous plumbing that actually moves a property management business. Nobody puts "documents end up in the right place" on a pitch slide, and it is the thing teams notice every single day.

FLK it over, led by Andrew Colagiuri, is a REACH Australia and New Zealand portfolio company. Good work.

The application is shorter than you think. We are not looking for a 40-page deck.

What we want to understand:

• The problem you are solving in the ANZ property sector, and who pays to have it solved
• The evidence that customers want it - revenue, pilots, retention, whatever you have
• Where you are trying to get to in the next 24 months

Then we talk. Screening calls run through October, and the best ones are with founders who answer plainly and know what they do not know yet.

REACH Australia and New Zealand is a proptech scale-up program from Second Century Ventures, the investment arm of the National Association of REALTORS®. Applications for the Class of 2027 close 30 September.

6 days.

Applications for the REACH Australia and New Zealand Class of 2027 close on 30 September.

If you are building technology for the ANZ property sector and have been meaning to apply, this is the week to do it.

What you are applying for: a proptech scale-up program from Second Century Ventures, the investment arm of the National Association of REALTORS®. 50+ regional companies backed since 2019. Relationships with every Real Estate Institute in the region. A global REACH network that shows up in person.

We take a position in the companies we back rather than charging for a place. That changes who is on your side when it gets hard.

Portfolio Summit 2026, Boulder Colorado.

This is the REACH Australia and New Zealand contingent.

The learning is why we go. Sessions on what is actually working, founders comparing notes with founders, and a room where nobody has to explain the context first.

The community is why it works. You cannot manufacture the conversations that happen at the back of the room or over dinner.

And it was fun - which matters more than people admit.

Proud of this crew, and grateful to the global REACH team for putting it on.

Nobody scales alone.

Three days in Boulder with almost 400 REACH companies makes that obvious. The founders who get furthest are not the ones with the best deck. They are the ones who ask the room, listen to the answer, and go back and change something.

That is the whole idea behind REACH Australia and New Zealand. A proptech scale-up program from Second Century Ventures, the investment arm of the National Association of REALTORS®, with 50+ regional companies backed since 2019 and a global network that shows up in person.

Applications for the Class of 2027 are open: reachanz.com/apply

Scaling into a new market is not copying what worked at home.

A strategy that delivers in Brisbane can stall in Auckland, and one that works across ANZ can meet a completely different buyer in the UK or the US. Different regulation, different procurement, a different person who has to say yes first.

Before sizing the opportunity:

• Name the local decision-maker who must say yes
• Pick one assumption they can validate in 30 days
• Commit to one evidence-gathering conversation before you commit capital

A plan without a test is only a theory.

This is what the REACH network is for. Companies from every REACH program worldwide, in a room together this week, comparing exactly these notes.

Which market is next on your list, and who would you need to convince first?
