What if you could see inside a deal before you wired the money?
Many CRE syndication platforms originate deals and vet them in-house, so the people selling you the investment are also the ones telling you it's safe. Zego RE keeps those two jobs apart. Our APEX engine gives each deal its own independent score for safety and upside, so you have a second opinion before you decide.

What We Build
A web platform that scores commercial real estate deals independently.
The Problem
Many CRE syndication platforms originate deals and vet them in-house, so the company selling investors a deal is also telling them it's safe. When a deal goes wrong, individual investors often carry the loss.
Our Solution
Zego RE is a web platform with its own scoring engine, APEX, which rates each deal for safety and upside and gives it a tier. We do not originate deals. We score them. Keeping those two jobs apart is the point.
Who It's For
Self-directed IRA holders and accredited investors who want careful, independent deal review without institutional minimums. Sponsors (GPs) can submit deals for review and listing, and SDIRA custodians have their own view.
Current Stage
Early stage and in beta. The signed-in web app is live, and APEX scores assets in six classes: CRE, land, crypto, stocks, startups and alternatives. The app also has an early typed analyst chat, the CFO Agent, that we are still testing. Continuous data feeds, in-app support chat and voice are built but not switched on right now.
The Real Problem
When the seller also does the vetting, investors carry the risk.
In-house
is where many CRE syndication platforms do their due diligence. The platform that originates a deal is often the same one that scores it, markets it, and collects fees on it.
Your capital
is what is at stake when the platform that puts a deal together is also the one vetting it.
Ask yourself:
Would you trust a used car dealer who also ran the inspection shop?
Then why trust the company that put a deal together to also tell you whether it is safe?
APEX was built to keep that conflict out of your decision.
Why Zego RE
Here is what independent vetting looks like.
We do not originate deals. We plan to earn our fees from sponsors, the CRE operators who list deals with us. APEX scores every deal the same way.
Deep
Multi-Dimensional Scoring
Every deal runs through APEX, which looks at location, market, financials and risk, then gives a safety score, an upside score and a tier. Our aim is to list only deals that clear our bar.
Rigorous
Sponsor Verification
Before a sponsor's deal is listed, we look at their track record, regulatory history and entity details. If a sponsor does not pass that review, the deal is not listed.
In Progress
Compliance Automation
We are building tools for the compliance steps: Form D filing, accredited investor checks, KYC/AML and OFAC screening, Blue Sky filings and record keeping. They are not live yet.
Data Infrastructure
Built on public data sources.
County
Property Records
Property details from public county assessor and GIS records.
Public
Market Data
Economic data from the Census and FRED, plus market feeds.
SEC
Sponsor Filings
SEC EDGAR and Form D filings, to see what a sponsor has on record.

Tools for Reg D filing, e-signatures and AML screening are being built and are not live yet.

About Zego RE
We built this because we couldn't find it anywhere else.
Zego RE exists to answer a question that should have been answered years ago: why does a self-directed IRA investor get worse deal vetting than a pension fund?
Our Mission
Take the conflict of interest out of CRE syndication.
Too often, the platform that puts a deal together is also the one vetting it. We keep those jobs apart. APEX scores deals. We don't originate them.
Our Vision
A world where your retirement capital gets the same protection as institutional money.
Trillions of dollars sit in US IRAs, and some of it is self-directed into commercial real estate. Those investors deserve the same careful underwriting and ongoing monitoring a family office expects. That is what we are building.
Leadership
Our Story
Zego RE
Zego RE started with a simple observation: institutional real estate investors get months of independent underwriting, third-party sponsor vetting, and stress-tested risk models before a dollar moves.
Individual investors often get a pitch deck and a webinar, from the same platform that picked the deal and scored it. When something goes wrong, there may be little on record to look back on.
We built the APEX engine to help close that gap. It scores each deal for safety and upside, gives it a tier, and uses the same method every time.
Domain: Commercial Real Estate, PropTech, AI in Finance
Team: Founder-led
Stage: Early stage, in beta
Planned Business Model
Placement Fee
A percentage of capital placed through the platform, paid by the GP/sponsor and not charged to investors.
AUM Fee
An annual fee on assets under management, paid by the GP/sponsor, for ongoing monitoring, reporting, and compliance automation.
Investors do not pay Zego RE a fee to browse deals, invest or receive distributions. Some AI research reports in the app show a price. We do not collect that payment yet, and our plan is to refund it.

Platform Capabilities
Nine parts of one platform, built to work together.
Here is what Zego RE is built to do. Some parts are live in our beta today, and others are still being built.
01
APEX Deal Intelligence
APEX gives each asset a safety score, an upside score and a tier, so you can see risk and potential side by side.
02
Risk Sentinel
APEX also looks for warning signs, such as returns that seem too good to be true or prices that do not match the market, and lowers the score when something looks off.
03
Downside Modeling
A deal can be tested against a few economic scenarios, from a mild correction to a severe downturn, so you can see the downside before you commit.
04
Compliance Support
Help with Form D filings, state notices, investor verification and record keeping. This part is still being built.
05
Retirement Capital Gateway
Made with self-directed IRA investors in mind. You can filter for SDIRA-eligible assets, and custodians have their own view.
06
Sponsor Trust Score
APEX looks at the sponsor behind each deal, including track record, litigation and regulatory history, so you can judge the operator as well as the property.
07
On-Demand Deal Analyst
Ask about a deal in plain words, such as its risk, projected returns or fit with your portfolio, and get a written answer. This analyst chat is in beta.
08
Deal Room
One place for a deal's documents, such as offering materials, appraisals, agreements and APEX reports. This part is still being built.

A financing tool to match commercial borrowers with lenders by rate, leverage and deal type. This area is still in development.
