At Sway Ventures, we back mission-driven founders solving complex, consequential problems—and in commercial real estate, there may be no greater challenge right now than the looming $3 trillion wall of maturing debt.

That’s why we’re excited to announce our investment in Capitalize.io, an AI-powered platform helping brokers and lenders unlock real-time insights and actionable deal flow from fragmented CRE finance data.

Founded by Luke Morris, co-founder of Crexi, Capitalize brings modern infrastructure to an industry still reliant on PDFs and spreadsheets. By aggregating and enriching critical borrower and lender information, the platform turns hours of manual research into seconds of high-impact discovery—helping users find refis, distressed assets, and active lenders with unmatched speed and precision.

“We’re staring down a wall of maturing CRE debt, and most of the industry’s still using spreadsheets to make sense of it, Capitalize is showing up at exactly the right moment. Luke really gets the CRE market—he’s been in it—and he’s built something that helps lenders and brokers cut through the noise and actually find opportunities. That’s why we’re backing this team.”

— Brian Nugent, Founding General Partner at Sway Ventures

Capitalize is already gaining traction across multifamily, industrial, office, and hospitality sectors. In just four months of monetization, the company has signed over 200 paying customers and is pacing to surpass $1 million in ARR by year-end.

We believe Capitalize is building the modern operating system for CRE finance—and we’re proud to partner with Luke and his team alongside Lerer Hippeau, FJ Labs, Treasury, and other leading investors.

In a time of high volatility and tighter credit markets, platforms like Capitalize are not just helpful—they’re essential.
