Our take
OpenAsset is a premier Digital Asset Management solution tailored specifically for the Architecture, Construction, and Engineering (ACE) sectors. With a track record spanning two decades and a diverse client base of 800+, OpenAsset is well-positioned to understand and cater to the unique challenges of these industries.
The problem it addresses is the acute need for an industry-specific solution that can effectively manage the digital assets crucial to ACE professionals.

Its vision is not just to provide a platform but to inspire individuals through the visualization of the built world, an ambitious goal that sets them apart in the marketplace.
Marked by consistent growth, OpenAsset has strategically partnered with Marlin Equity Partners, a private equity firm, to enhance its sales, technical, and management capabilities. This collaboration is driven by the mounting demand for OpenAsset's B2B SaaS products. Alongside an ongoing focus on team expansion, positioning OpenAsset as a leader in addressing the distinctive needs of the ACE industries, ensuring its place at the forefront of specialized digital asset management.
