Occupier is a New York–based proptech company reimagining how commercial tenants manage their real estate portfolios by merging lease administration, accounting compliance, and transaction management into one intelligent SaaS platform. The company was founded by Matt Giffune and Andrew Flint (former JLL and VTS executives) in 2018 to bring automation and transparency to the tenant side of commercial leasing—an area traditionally underserved compared to property owners and landlords.
Occupier operates as a tenant‑centric lease management platform designed to unify finance, accounting, and real estate teams in a single, data‑driven environment. The system streamlines the entire leasing lifecycle—from site selection and deal negotiation to lease administration and accounting under ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87 frameworks. Its mission, summarized by its founders, is to empower tenants to make better real estate decisions through intuitive collaboration and automation tools.
Launched in 2018, Occupier emerged to address the lack of specialized technology for tenants juggling growing multi‑site portfolios. The company gained early traction among expanding franchise, retail, and healthcare brands that required unified visibility into rent obligations and critical lease data. Headquartered in New York City with a fast‑growing hybrid team, the company has scaled to serve enterprise clients globally.
Occupier has secured over $32 million in total funding across multiple investment rounds. Early backing came from Stage 2 Capital, OMERS Ventures, MetaProp, and Alate Partners, culminating in a $10.5 million Series A in 2022 to expand development and generate deeper ERP integrations. In June 2025, the company raised an additional $16 million growth investment from Unbundled Capital, aimed at accelerating product innovation, scaling support for regulated industries, and recruiting top SaaS talent.
Occupier delivers an end‑to‑end real estate lifecycle platform integrating three flagship modules:
Transaction Management: Enables teams to manage lease deals, track proposals, compare rents, and coordinate approvals from LOI to execution seamlessly.
Lease Administration: Centralizes contracts, automates critical‑date alerts, and manages rent payments, financial schedules, and occupancy analytics.
The company operates a monthly release cycle managed through its cloud infrastructure and published via public release notes. Recent additions in 2025 include an enhanced audit log workspace, lease payables module, and expanded ERP API connectors. These continuous improvements allow clients to scale or modify usage without downtime or separate installation.
Occupier’s culture mirrors its mission—driven by transparency, teamwork, and customer success. Its founders emphasize “usability as a culture,” focusing on simplicity and efficiency in every product interaction. The company promotes open communication, agile experimentation, and cross‑departmental collaboration between tech, design, and customer success. It positions itself as a human‑centric SaaS developer, building tools “tenants actually love to use,” reflecting values of accountability, trust, and long‑term partnership.
Occupier serves commercial tenants and corporate occupiers across industries, including retail, restaurant, healthcare, logistics, and professional services. Notable clients include DraftKings, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, and Salad & Go, all of which credit the platform for enabling portfolio visibility and compliance agility as they scale globally. Its community engagement spans webinars, product demos, and customer councils that influence roadmap direction, ensuring tenants’ operational goals and financial standards guide platform evolution.
