Numa receives 45 million US dollars

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

The digital hotel operator Numa has raised 45 million US dollars in a recent financing round. The lead investor in the round is DN Capital Group, a technology investor that has previously backed Auto1 and Hometogo. The co-lead investor is Headline. The 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 real estate owners and hotel operators. The company's own full-stack software is designed 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 start-up in 2019. Last year, Numa expanded into Spain, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic. It now operates 2,500 units in Europe. The company claims to have achieved a booking occupancy rate of 85% despite coronavirus. The founders want to use the newly raised capital to offer even more hotel rooms and further expand their technology.
