Two worlds. One mission.
Solaia was born when a real estate insider and an AI engineer met at university and realized they were solving the same problem from opposite sides.
"We met in our first semester. Killian kept talking about how his family's agencies were losing deals because they couldn't respond fast enough. I kept talking about how AI could automate anything. One night over coffee, we stopped talking and started building."
— The founders, on how it started
Having grown up across multiple countries, Killian lived real estate before he ever studied it. His family has been in the industry for decades — working with powerhouses like Engel & Völkers — and from an early age, he watched deals close, markets shift, and the human side of property transactions unfold.
That front-row seat gave him something most tech founders lack: an instinct for how real estate actually works. He knows why an agent loses a buyer at 11 PM on a Friday. He knows the difference between a warm lead and a tire-kicker. And he knows that speed isn't a nice-to-have — it's the entire game.
Now studying Business at one of Europe's top schools, Killian brings four languages, a global network, and the conviction that the industry he grew up in deserves better tools.
Originally from Mexico, Edgar is the kind of engineer who doesn't just build systems — he obsesses over them. Fluent in English and Spanish, with working knowledge of additional languages, he's spent years mastering the art of AI automation: designing intelligent workflows, training conversational agents, and connecting the dots between large language models and real business outcomes.
Before Solaia, Edgar built automation pipelines and AI solutions for major clients — including government agencies in the United States and Latin America — eliminating hours of manual work and turning chaotic processes into seamless, AI-driven machines. His track record spans enterprise-level projects across the Americas, consistently delivering results for high-stakes organizations.
When Killian told him about the lead-response crisis in real estate, Edgar saw the perfect problem: high-volume, time-sensitive, multilingual — exactly the kind of challenge AI was born to solve.
Built by people who understand your business
Solaia isn't another generic AI tool. It's a system designed by someone who grew up in the industry and an engineer who won't stop until every lead is answered. We only work with a limited number of agencies — because we believe in partnerships, not clients.
