by Geek Estate Team

The REACH Commercial program, backed by the National Association of Realtors and Second Century Ventures, announced the eight companies selected for its 2026 Commercial Scale-Up program:

CenterCheck: store-level sales monitoring that gives retailers and shopping centers accurate sales reporting, shopper demographics, and transaction journey insights for their physical locations.
Embue: AI-powered control and sensing that cuts apartment buildings’ utility costs by 25% within the first hour of use, giving owners immediate, measurable savings without any hardware overhaul.
HelloPackage: AI-powered package management system for multifamily and student-housing communities —computer vision, driver coordination, and hands-on service—so leasing teams stay focused on leasing, not packages.
Parkquility: a license plate registration based parking management platform that maximizes net operating income for property owners while delivering a seamless, frictionless experience for drivers and visitors.

SKLUT: a mobile-first facial recognition access platform networking commercial, residential, and event venues across New York City into one system, enabling seamless entry and exit from a single mobile device.
