Smart Bricks named to the CB Insights 2026 Fintech 100

CB Insights has named Smart Bricks to its 2026 Fintech 100, its ranking of the 100 most promising private fintech companies in the world. Smart Bricks is listed in the consumer finance section of the list, among the companies building in home loans and retail property investing.

The Fintech 100 is CB Insights' ninth annual ranking of the fintech industry's top startups. The 2026 list covers 21 categories across six sections of the fintech market, from payments and business finance to capital markets and connectivity.

CB Insights' research team picks the companies from its own data, including deal activity, industry partnerships, team strength, investor strength and employee headcount. By its figures, this year's 100 companies have raised $10.9B in equity funding between them, and 51 of them are early-stage companies.

Mohamed Mohamed, founder and CEO of Smart Bricks, sees the recognition as a measure of the opportunity ahead: "For us, this is recognition of an enormous opportunity: bringing AI to the way the world invests in real estate."

He describes the problem Smart Bricks is built to solve in plain terms: "An industry where decisions worth millions, and billions, still depend on teams piecing together documents, spreadsheets and fragmented data. We're building the intelligence layer for that industry."

"To the Smart Bricks team: you earned this. Every model, every deployment, every customer problem solved helped get us here," Mohamed said. "To our clients, partners and investors: thank you for believing in the scale of what we're building."
