About Lawin C.

Let’s talk, if you’re an AI / FinTech investor, family office, institutional LP or strategic acquirer and you’re looking for a focused team building a category-defining, billion-dollar company.I\'m Lawin Chandra, Founder & CEO of aiRaiz and an Oxford AI top achiever. I\'m building the AI-powered capital-raising infrastructure for global private markets – real estate, private equity, infrastructure and other alternative assets.For more than a decade I worked inside Europe’s largest real estate and private equity platforms, leading deals and digital initiatives across more than $7bn in transactions. That experience made one thing painfully clear: fundraising is still slow, manual and relationship-bound, while investors are drowning in noise and starving for the right opportunities.aiRaiz is my answer to that problem.At aiRaiz, we combine institutional fundraising expertise with artificial intelligence, data science and workflow automation to match the right LPs (family offices, institutions, funds of funds) with the right GPs and deals – faster and with better fit. Our platform uses intelligent data, investor graphs and AI-driven outreach to turn what used to be 18–24 month processes into a structured, data-driven capital-raising engine.We already maintain a proprietary network and dataset of limited partners with 150+ data points per investor, and we’re actively supporting emerging and established managers across real estate, venture capital, private equity and real assets in Europe, the US and Asia. Every mandate we run makes the system smarter and strengthens the moat around our AI capital-raising infrastructure.My work sits at the intersection of AI, real assets and financial innovation. I wrote The PropTech Guide (profiling PropTech companies worldwide) and AI Innovation in Real Estate (Palgrave Macmillan), where I lay out how machine learning, big data and generative AI are transforming property investment and asset management. I also speak and write regularly for universities, conferences and industry platforms about AI, PropTech, FinTech, SaaS and the future of private markets.aiRaiz operates between San Francisco, London and Singapore, plugged into the leading ecosystems for technology, capital and regulation. We are backed by a global network of Oxford alumni, family offices and venture partners who share a simple belief: the distribution layer of private markets is being rebuilt right now, and AI-native infrastructure will own that future.

On top of this investor graph, our AI scores LP–GP fit, prioritises outreach and learns from every mandate so each fundraise becomes faster, smarter and more targeted than the last.Key background and track record behind aiRaiz:* 10+ years in commercial real estate and private equity, with c.$7bn of transactions originated, structured and executed.* Founder of a Berlin-based real estate investment company, built from scratch and successfully exited after scaling the team and deal pipeline.* Senior roles at leading European platforms, including portfolio and investment management for multi-billion euro real estate portfolios.* Hands-on experience raising capital from family offices, sovereign wealth funds and institutional LPs across Europe and beyond.aiRaiz is the product of this experience: a focused attempt to build the AI-native distribution layer for private markets capital raising.
