MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- K1 Investment Management, LLC ("K1"), one of the largest investors in small-cap enterprise software companies, today announced a strategic investment to combine Singu and Micad, two European-based providers of real estate management software. The partnership creates a comprehensive platform that will offer commercial property managers leading-edge technology to streamline their operations.

Together, the combined entity serves more than 100,000 buildings comprising over 250 million square meters in 35 countries. Singu's cloud-based software suite brings strength in facility management, maintenance automation, and sustainability reporting, while Micad's platform adds expertise in asset, space, and compliance solutions. K1 will continue to invest in both platforms to ensure each remains at the forefront of innovation, delivering significant value to property owners and managers throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Notable customers of the combined company include Prologis, CBRE, the National Health Service, Logicor, the University of Cambridge, and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.

"This combination creates a rare opportunity to build a unified European platform that addresses the increasing need to digitize property management," said Paweł Malon, CEO of the combined entity. "In bringing our capabilities together, we offer commercial real estate managers an end-to-end solution that comprehensively addresses the pain points of managing facilities and facility operations."

"With K1's support, we are combining two mission-critical platforms to accelerate our vision of becoming the premier property management technology across Europe," said Peter Harris, Managing Director of Micad. "Our integrated solution will deliver actionable strategic intelligence, empowering facility managers in healthcare, logistics, retail, higher education, government and other verticals to drive efficiency, compliance, and long-term value."

The investment comes as European real estate undergoes rapid digital transformation, with an increasing focus on tenant centricity and heightened demand for operational efficiency. The combined platform delivers preventive, reactive, and predictive maintenance capabilities; compliance management tools; mobile-first operations for on-site technicians and property managers; and automated sustainability reporting – all to meet the comprehensive needs of real estate portfolio managers. In addition, both companies are using AI to automate the management of properties, including AI-produced task management for inspections, AI-driven predictive maintenance, and AI-powered analytics, ultimately automating operational workflows for end users.

"We are thrilled to partner with Paweł, Peter, and their respective teams to help scale a European leader in facility management software," said Tarun Jain, Principal at K1. "This is the moment to unify the leading solutions in the space, as property managers across Europe are rethinking how they operate. Together, Singu and Micad are positioned to lead that transformation."

This investment reflects K1's commitment to scaling vertical software leaders through hands-on operational support, strategic M&A, and long-term partnership with management teams. K1 will support the combined entity's organic growth and acquisition strategy to deepen product capabilities and accelerate expansion across Europe.
