Habyt takes over fourth start-up in twelve months

After Goliving, Erasmo's Room and Quarters, the Berlin-based proptech takes over its next competitor, Homefully. Habyt also raises 20 million in a current financing round.

It is the fourth takeover within a year: proptech Habyt is acquiring its competitor Homefully. At the same time, Habyt is pleased to announce the completion of a successful Series B financing round amounting to 20 million euros. HV Capital, Vorwerk Ventures, P101, Picus Capital and Inveready participated in the round. With the money raised and the acquisition, Habyt will work on expanding its offering. Founder and CEO Luca Bovone has big plans: "We are now looking at strategic targets in Europe, particularly in France and Italy, but also on other continents, especially in Asia."

Habyt had previously acquired the companies Goliving, Erasmo's Room and Quarters. Homefully will initially exist as an independent company and is delighted about the collaboration: "The co-living market is in a consolidation phase and Habyt has seized this opportunity quickly and effectively," says Sebastian Wuerz, who founded Homefully in 2016. "Joining forces is a decisive step in this direction and I am very pleased that the team will be part of this journey."

Like Habyt, Homefully offers furnished apartments and apartments for flexible rental periods. The concept is primarily aimed at young people who move around a lot between different places of residence and work. Founded in 2017, the start-up Habyt says it now has 5,000 of these units in six countries.
