BlackRock led a US$25 million funding round for Atlas Invest, a real estate-focused lender that uses AI to support private credit transactions.

The investment aims to expand Atlas’s bridge-lending platform, which provides senior loans backed by commercial real estate.

The company’s technology conducts ongoing, institutional-grade due diligence using a wide range of data, allowing for continuous risk assessment and greater transparency for investors.

Atlas claims this approach offers better oversight compared to traditional methods, which often rely on snapshots at origination.

The funding follows an US$11 million round in December 2024 and will support increased loan volume and platform access.
