Portfolio — Applied AI

Palimpsest

The clause that sinks the deal is on page 340 of a scan.

Pre-seed 2025 · $1.5M Applied AI Berlin, Germany

Palimpsest reads decades of inconsistent, scanned lease documents and pulls out the obligations that actually bind a portfolio — renewal windows, escalation clauses, restoration duties — into a structured record you can query instead of a shelf you can't.

The liability that blows up a property deal is almost never hidden. It's just buried in paper nobody's had time to read. Johanna knows precisely which clauses those are, because she used to be the one reading them at midnight. That domain sense is the whole edge.

The founder

Johanna Vogel

Co-founder & CEO

Johanna is a real-estate lawyer who spent too many nights reading scanned leases that no one had opened in years, hunting for the one clause that changed everything. She decided a machine should carry that load.
