10xSearch Wins 2026 Edge Pitch Battle as AI Search Trends Reshape Real Estate
AI search startup 10xSearch has won the 2026 Edge Pitch Battle, outperforming seven competitors in a live competition hosted by T3 Sixty and Real Estate News. The company specializes in helping real estate brokerages gain visibility within AI-driven answer engines, addressing a shift in consumer behavior where home searches increasingly begin with AI chat interfaces rather than traditional websites. While 10xSearch took the judges' top prize, Purlin was named the crowd favorite for its end-to-end transaction platform. The competition highlighted a broader industry trend toward 'AI-first' consumers, as noted in upcoming research from T3 Sixty. The event showcased early-stage proptech companies focused on various stages of the real estate lifecycle, from lead generation to closing transactions.
