America's Largest Homebuilder Deploys Prophetic Organization-Wide

D.R. Horton has signed with Prophetic and will deploy our Al-native land acquisition intelligence across 37 states, 130+ corporate divisions, and 1,300+ end users.

This is Prophetic's largest milestone to date. But more importantly, it's validation of something we've believed from the beginning: the tools used to acquire land haven't kept pace with the scale of the challenge facing American housing.

What This Deployment Means

D.R. Horton will use Prophetic as their centralized land acquisition platform to identify, analyze, and organize high-potential development sites across their entire national operation.

The scale:

  • 37 states
  • 130+ corporate divisions
  • 1,300+ end users across land acquisition, development, and executive teams

This isn't a pilot program in one region. This is organization-wide deployment for the largest homebuilder in America.

Why This Matters Beyond Prophetic

The U.S. housing market is short an estimated 4.7 million homes. The constraint often isn't capital or demand—it's the ability to evaluate land opportunities and market dynamics fast enough to connect supply with demand.

Current manual processes and fragmented tools simply can't keep pace with the challenge. When preliminary feasibility takes days or weeks, acquisition teams can't evaluate enough opportunities to build the pipeline needed to address housing shortages at scale.

The speed gap compounds: Every day spent assembling constraint data is a day competitors are moving on the best opportunities. Every week waiting on manual analysis is a week of deal flow lost to faster-moving buyers.

What We've Learned So Far

Prophetic customers have already analyzed 198,000+ parcels of land and are currently pursuing over 3,100 high-potential development sites they've discovered, analyzed, and organized with our technology.

What once took weeks now takes minutes. That's not incremental improvement—that's a fundamental transformation in how land acquisition operates.

Here's what that speed advantage enables:

Acquisition teams evaluate more opportunities systematically instead of cherry-picking only the obvious deals. They enter new markets without spending months building local expertise. They respond to off-market opportunities same-day instead of losing them to faster competitors.

The constraint shifts from "how many deals can we analyze" to "how many deals can we close." One client this year put over $30M in land under contract in nine months—not because they had more capital than competitors, but because they could evaluate opportunities 42x faster.

What Comes Next

This deployment represents a step-change in our ability to impact housing supply at national scale.

When the largest homebuilder in America can systematically evaluate land opportunities across 37 states with the same speed and depth they previously had only in their core markets, that changes what's possible for addressing housing shortages.

The opportunity to accelerate housing supply at national scale is exactly why Prophetic exists. D.R. Horton's deployment proves the technology works at enterprise scale. Now the question is how quickly the rest of the industry follows.

Acknowledgments

To our investors and early believers: Thank you for seeing the vision when it was just an idea. You made this possible.

To our customers: Thank you for trusting us with your most important work. Your feedback shaped every capability we've built and will continue to guide what we build next.

To our team: Thank you for building something worthy of this moment. The best work is still ahead of us.

The transformation of land acquisition from manual processes to AI-native intelligence isn't theoretical anymore. It's happening at a national scale with the largest players in the industry.

We're just getting started.
