Davis Closes €4.6M Funding Round to Deploy Proprietary AI Model for Architectural Design Under Regulatory Constraints

Paris-based AI real estate startup Davis has raised €4.6 million in a pre-seed round led by Heartcore Capital and Balderton Capital, with participation from Yellow, Evantic, and Entrepreneurs First, alongside angels from the founding teams of Hugging Face, Black Forest Labs, and Supabase.

Founded in 2025 by CEO Mehdi Rais and Amine Chraibi, Davis combines proprietary AI with human expert review to compress early-stage architectural and feasibility work from months to days. Alongside the funding, the company is launching Gaudi-1, its first model for generating architect-grade floor plans and volumetrics under real-world regulatory constraints. Unlike conventional diffusion models, Gaudi-1 operates in discrete architectural space, producing structured compositions of rooms, walls, and layouts.

Davis delivers outputs as a service rather than software, adapting to local regulations across geographies and asset classes.
