Tage Arbeit.
Für ein einziges Objekt.

Die gewerbliche Immobilienrecherche ist gebrochen. Analysten verbringen den Großteil ihrer Zeit damit, Daten aus Dutzenden inkompatibler Quellen manuell zusammenzuführen — bevor die eigentliche Analyse überhaupt beginnt.

30–50 hAnalyst-Stunden pro Akquisition

Nur für Datenextraktion — bevor ein einziger Quadratmeter bewertet wurde. Groß­teils manuelle Eingabe aus nicht-kompatiblen Quellen.

60–70 %der Arbeitszeit geht in Dateneingabe

Nicht in Analyse, nicht in Entscheidungen — in das manuelle Abtippen und Übertragen von Grundbuch, Handelsregister und Listings.

$40–60pro km² für aktuelle Satellitenaufnahmen

Hochauflösende Echtzeit-Aufnahmen (VHR, < 1 m) kosten auf Abruf $40–60/km². Für ein 10-km²-Suchgebiet: bis zu $600 — pro Anfrage.

01Geländeunebenheiten

Hangneigung, Gefälle, Mulden — ohne Höhenmodell ist jede Bebauungseinschätzung blind. Manuelle Photogrammetrie: 2–4 h pro Objekt.

02Grundfläche & Nutzungsgrad

Exakte Gebäude­footprints existieren selten in maschinenlesbarer Form. Analoge Katasterdaten müssen digitalisiert und georeferenziert werden.

03Aktivität & Leerstand

Ist die Halle aktiv genutzt? Leer? Saisonal? Ohne Thermaldaten oder regelmäßige Luftbilder: unbekannt — bis zur teuren Begehung.

Grundbuch, Handelsregister, GmbH-Verflechtungen, Treuhandstrukturen — 32+ Quellen, die kein einziges System vollständig abbildet.

/ the thesis

Every industry runs on information
satellites already have.

Satellites produce more data every day than humanity has ever generated in its entire history combined. Almost none of it is analysed — it sits in archive buckets, raw and unused, because turning orbital imagery into actionable intelligence requires deep technical infrastructure most organisations cannot build.

layrd's model: build that infrastructure once, apply it to a vertical where data asymmetry creates real commercial advantage, and own the intelligence layer. rekon is the proof of concept. Commercial real estate was the first vertical. It won't be the last.

01Raw dataSentinel, Copernicus, Landsat — free, public, global. ∞ supply.
02layrd stackProprietary AI + aggregation pipeline. Built once, reused across verticals.

rekon — property intelligence,
from orbit.

One search. Every matching property on Earth. Owner name. Contact details. Ten seconds.

rekon product — property intelligence interface
01Aktive Suche

Describe any property in plain language. rekon cross-references satellite imagery to surface every matching object within a given radius — identified purely from orbit.

02Eigentümerrecherche

From satellite footprint to owner name, legal structure, and direct contact — automatically, across land registries, commercial registers, and public sources.

03COPERNICUS DEM

Elevation analysis to 10 m accuracy via COPERNICUS GLO-30. Slope, gradient, plateau identification — full remote terrain assessment without a site visit.

04Sentinel-2 Thermik

Heat signatures from Sentinel-2 SWIR bands reveal building activity, operational intensity, and usage patterns — even when no photos exist.

05KI-Synthese

All layers feed into a multi-source AI model. Output: terrain score, activity index, build density, and an overall property KI-Score out of 10.

06Netzwerkgraph

Every linked entity surfaces automatically — GmbH structures, beneficial owners, connected directors. One address, the full network.

One search. €210,000.

A commercial real estate team in Hamburg had spent three days searching for available industrial halls in the eastern districts. Target: 1,000 m² or above, right logistics access, identifiable owner.

Three analysts. Dozens of broker calls. Nothing.

They ran the same brief through rekon's Active Search: “1.000 m² Halle · Hamburg Ost · +8 km Radius”. rekon returned four matches in 9.8 seconds — satellite-identified buildings, coordinates, footprint size, and — critically — the owner's name and direct phone number.

One call. The owner wasn't on any market. The deal closed at €210,000.

rekon found in 10 seconds what three analysts couldn't find in three days.

rekon currently has one paying enterprise customer in commercial real estate. Research time per address has dropped from ~4 hours to under 10 seconds. 40+ analyst hours saved per week.

/ why us · why now
01

The data is already there

Sentinel, Copernicus, Landsat — free, public, globally covering. The moat isn't the satellite. It's the pipeline that turns raw pixels into a structured intelligence product.

02

First-mover in DACH

No direct German-language competitor operates a satellite-derived property intelligence tool at production quality. The window is open.

03

Vertical playbook

rekon is the template. The same satellite stack, AI pipeline, and aggregation layer can be pointed at agriculture, insurance, or infrastructure — any market where ground-truth data is slow, expensive, or inaccessible.
