Real-Estate FinTech 'Piece' Raises EUR1.65M: Japan's UTEC Backs an Italian StartupA · FULL TRANSLATION

Milan-based real-estate investment FinTech Piece, led by a Japanese founder, closed a EUR1.65M first tranche of its Pre-Series A, with existing investor UTEC (a University of Tokyo-linked VC) re-investing alongside new backers. The amount is small but the angle is interesting: Japanese VC is funding European proptech startups, and the founder is Japanese — a 'Japanese capital x Japanese founder x European market' cross-border PropTech case. For those tracking real-estate tech and cross-border investment, it reflects Japanese capital's ambitions in overseas PropTech. Details per the company.
