The multinational startup, dedicated to the home buying and selling sector, lands in our country with forecasts of creating more than 120 jobs by the end of the year. A few weeks ago, Huspy closed a Series A financing round of 34.9 million euros, much of it destined for Spain. The round was led by Sequoia Capital India, along with renowned investors such as Founders Fund, Fifth Wall, Venture Friends, Chimera Capital, Breyer Capital, COTU, Venture Souq and BY.
founded less than two years ago, this technology startup applied to the real estate sector is also backed by its international growth and sustained development. In the short period of its activity, the company has exceeded an annual turnover of two billion euros.
The proptech, based in Dubai, puts Spain in its sights as a priority market for its expansion in EMEA, where it plans to invest in technological development, strategic contracting and the analysis of new markets to favor the digitization of a sector as traditional as real estate. All this with a firm purpose: to simplify the entire process of buying and selling a property, in an easy and uncomplicated way for the client, from the initial phase of valuation, property search, to obtaining financing and delivery of keys in hand.
Huspy has carried out an in-depth analysis of the Spanish market, in which it has found indicators of its great potential to continue expanding its operations. In Madrid alone, more than 80,000 sales were made in 2021, a fact that for the company represents an opportunity to provide a disruptive response to the needs and motivations of all the operators involved, including real estate and mortgage agents, and help them to overcome the process in the simplest and most profitable way possible.
