Venturon Ltd., a Canadian-owned investment group focused on real estate technology start-ups, has recently partnered with Darabase Canada, a technology company specializing in immersive media for the spatial web (spatial out-of-home and permission-based augmented reality (AR) advertising).
Venturon brings decades of experience in various real estate sectors, integrating technology, products and services to create opportunities, efficiencies and investment returns. This is Darabase’s first such agreement in Canada since entering the market in February.
The collaboration merges each company’s expertise in AR advertising and managing property digital rights, an emerging asset class.
With the rise of AR-enabled devices and advances in the spatial web, the companies partnered to create new value for property owners across Venturon’s client and partner network.
“Real estate needs a new foundation, and technology is the key to unlocking its full potential,” says Deena Pantalone, founder and managing partner of Venturon. “Our partnership with Darabase aligns perfectly with our vision to rethink real estate. By leveraging Darabase’s expertise in AR and the spatial web, we’re paving the way for innovative solutions that benefit both property owners and the broader community.”
Peter Pinfold, CEO of Darabase Canada, notes that Venturon shares their vision that modern property ownership includes not just physical space but also property digital rights: “These rights enable property owners to protect, manage and monetize their digital assets, much like air and subterranean rights add value to traditional real estate.
The world is becoming a digital canvas for immersive brand experiences. As AR and the spatial web advance, our buildings, streets and landmarks will be transformed with dynamic, interactive content, reshaping our daily lives.”
