We are Hostmaker – nice to meet you!
We are an excited bunch because we recently closed our Series B funding,
backed by a great group of strategic investors who believe in the
growth of the new category of travel accommodation - homes - and in our
vision of unlocking the potential of every home.
Hostmaker is a tech enabled full-service home rentals management company
in the proptech category, offering dynamic pricing expertise,
thoughtful interior design and hotel-style operations for homes. We
raised a Series B round in November 2017 and are backed by institutional
funding from credible investors from technology, real estate and
hospitality backgrounds.
Marriott Hotels, the largest hotel company in the world, recognised our
industry leadership by selecting Hostmaker as preferred partner for its
first foray into serviced homestays, introducing Tribute Portfolio Homes
in April, 2018.
We have scaled rapidly in just three years to be the European leader
with international teams in offices in major destinations - London,
Paris, Cote D'Azur, Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon.
Hostmaker was featured by Forbes as one of five fastest-growing British
businesses to watch in 2016 and ranked #20 and then #11 by StartUps UK
in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
