About WiredScore

WiredScore is a VC-backed, PropTech company on a mission to make the world's buildings smarter and better connected. The company assesses and improves digital connectivity and smart technology within real estate around the world.

Founded in 2013, WiredScore is backed by renowned investors like Beringea, Fifth Wall and Bessemer Venture Partners. Today, WiredScore has offices in NYC, London, Paris, Berlin, Toronto and Singapore, Hong Kong, India with 1,000 clients (including 8 of the 10 largest landlords in the world), and works with over 4,500 buildings.

Wiredscore owns and operates two products; the WiredScore certification program, the first and only rating system for mobile and internet connectivity in buildings which helps landlords assess, improve, benchmark and promote their buildings and SmartScore, the smart building certification which helps landlords understand, improve and communicate the user functionality and technological foundations of their buildings.

Building on growth across North America and Europe, WiredScore launched in KSA in October 2022 as part of its global expansion plan. It has since expanded its regional footprint with its launch in the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt. The business has gathered strong momentum over the past three years, with over 300 buildings now certified or undergoing certification by WiredScore in the MENA region.
