The company raised USD 0.79 mn in a Seed funding round, with contributions from ALMI Invest and PartnerInvest, bringing its total raised amount to USD 0.79 mn.Agency9 specializes in providing innovative digital solutions designed to enhance urban planning and management. Their core offerings include a comprehensive suite of mapping and visualization tools that serve municipalities, urban planners, and real estate developers. These products assist users in visualizing complex spatial data, facilitating better decision-making regarding land use, infrastructure development, and environmental impact assessments. Agency9's solutions have been adopted widely across Europe, particularly in Sweden, Norway, and Switzerland, helping clients streamline urban development processes and improve citizen engagement in planning initiatives. The end users of these products typically include government agencies, urban planners, and organizations involved in sustainable development projects, all of whom benefit from the enhanced clarity and accessibility of urban data.Agency9's revenue model is primarily based on a subscription-based approach, which allows clients to access their suite of services on a flexible basis. This structure enables municipalities and private organizations to adopt and integrate the tools seamlessly into their existing workflows. Transactions typically occur through annual or multi-year contracts, with clients committing to specific service levels that may include additional features or premium support. Prices for these subscriptions are determined by the scale of usage and the range of tools selected, with additional revenue potentially generated from training and consultancy services provided to help clients maximize the utility of their products. Flagship offerings, which are central to their portfolio, play a significant role in driving these recurring revenues and maintaining long-term client relationships.Following its acquisition by Bentley Systems in October 2018, Agency9 has been focusing on developing new products to enhance its offerings in urban planning. The company plans to expand into new markets, particularly in Northern Europe, within the next few years. The recent Seed funding of USD 0.79 mn will support these initiatives, particularly in developing additional mapping tools and enhancing client services to attract new municipalities seeking modern urban planning solutions.
