Spotahome the leading digital platform for mid-to-long-term room and apartment rentals, has closed a €5 million funding round to boost its growth after achieving positive EBITDA during 2024.
The operation has attracted new investors, who join existing strategic partners, all entrepreneurs and executives with a proven track record in building and consolidating leading companies in their respective sectors.
As part of this capital injection, Spotahome has partially renewed its Board of Directors, incorporating new profiles that bring strategic vision and dynamism, complementing the Board that has supported the company for more than 11 years. In this context, Sergio Furio joins the Board, representing Actyus. Sergio Furio has extensive business experience as CEO of Creditas, the leading digital financial solutions platform in Latin America, valued at over $5 billion.
"This milestone would not have been possible without the talent, dedication, and commitment of our entire team, complemented by the strategic insight and vital support of our Board, including Passion Capital, Seaya Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, and 14W, as well as our esteemed shareholders. The addition of our new investors represents a vote of confidence in our vision and Spotahome's potential to continue growing sustainably," comments Alejandro Artacho, CEO and co-founder of Spotahome.
The funding round is supported by the robust and highly scalable operating base built by Spotahome. The company reached break-even in the second half of 2024 and maintains a year-on-year growth of 35%.
With a majority of international transactions, 85% of the rental volume managed by Spotahome—which exceeds €200 million—is generated in just eight cities, demonstrating significant potential for growth and expansion in the coming years beyond the 28 countries in which it currently operates.
"Now Spotahome's objective will be to continue working on improving the user experience for both tenants and landlords who use our platform, deepen strategic alliances, and continue to grow to consolidate our position as market leaders," concludes Alejandro Artacho, CEO and co-founder of Spotahome.
