Fuel Ventures, a leading UK venture capital fund, has co-led a £300,000 funding round in PlanningHub, a cutting-edge PropTech platform using AI to transform access to planning information for property development.
Designed to eliminate the inefficiencies of the UK’s complex planning system, PlanningHub provides instant, data-driven insights to developers, investors, and local authorities, helping to streamline decision-making and reduce planning risk.
As the first scalable AI solution of its kind, PlanningHub replaces time-consuming manual research with an automated, accurate, and efficient approach to planning data. The investment will enable the company to accelerate its mission to modernise the planning system, a move that could save the UK economy an estimated £1.2 billion annually and play a significant role in tackling the housing crisis.
Founded by graduates of the Antler accelerator programme, PlanningHub has rapidly gained recognition in the PropTech sector. The company has secured two prestigious UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) grants, including the highly competitive Smart Grant, awarded to top innovators across industries, and the Bridge AI Grant, which supports the adoption of artificial intelligence in key sectors. In 2024, PlanningHub was also selected from 150 applicants to join the Geovation PropTech accelerator, further cementing its position as a leader in the UK’s rapidly expanding PlanTechindustry.
Leading the company is CEO Ewa Moskwiak, who brings over 18 years of experience in planning and architecture, while CTO Professor Dr. Harald Braun, an expert in artificial intelligence, has a track record of founding seven successful tech startups. Together, they are spearheading PlanningHub’s mission to modernise and digitise the planning sector, making essential information more accessible, accurate, and actionable.
