Numa receives $45 million

The Berlin hotel start-up wants to replace classic hotel concepts and has now been able to convince investors.

The digital hotel operator Numa was able to raise 45 million US dollars in a current financing round. The lead investor in the round is DN Capital Group, a technology investor that has previously backed Auto1 and Hometogo. Co-lead investor is Headline. Previous investors Cherry Ventures, Soravia, Kreos Capital, TruVenturo and Scope Hanson are also participating again.

Numa operates its own accommodations, but also develops operator solutions as a partner for property owners and hotel operators. The company's proprietary full-stack software is expected to increase hotel operators' revenues by up to 40 percent through automated business processes, intelligent pricing and higher occupancy rates.

Christian Gaiser, Gerhard Maringer, Dimitri Chandogin and Inga Svinhufvud Laudiero founded the startup in 2019, and last year Numa expanded to Spain, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic. It now operates 2,500 units in Europe. The company says it has achieved 85 percent booking occupancy despite Corona. The founders plan to use the newly raised capital to offer even more hotel rooms and further expand their technology.
