Outreach angles

  • -instep.ai addresses a very specific and measurable pain point for estate agents - missed inbound enquiries - using a conversational AI assistant to recover leads that would otherwise be lost due to staffing gaps.
  • -Fuel Ventures led the pre-seed round with a mandate to accelerate national pilots across UK estate agency branches, giving instep.ai an immediate path to multi-site deployments rather than single-branch trials.
  • -The startup is entering a UK residential property market under sustained resourcing pressure, where estate agency branches are actively seeking automation to handle volume without adding headcount.
