Berlin-based proptech company Arbio, which offers an AI-native operating system for managing short-term rentals, has raised $36 million in a Series A funding round, bringing its total funding to over $45 million, with Eurazeo leading the investment.
- Launched in 2022 by Constantin Schröder and Paul Bäumler, Arbio develops an AI-native operating system for short-term rental management across Europe. The company combines full-stack property management services with technology to automate key operations, including pricing optimization, guest communication, accounting, and distribution across booking platforms.
- Its AI-driven platform collects market data from sources such as Booking.com and Google to update pricing daily, boosting occupancy and revenue. Physical operations, including cleaning and maintenance, are handled by local teams, while AI orchestrates communications between guests, owners, and service providers.
- To date, Arbio has grown to manage over 1,200 apartments across 10 cities in Germany, Austria, and the UK, serving more than 460,000 guests. The company employs over 60 staff members and has completed over 30 strategic acquisitions through its M&A team.
Details of the deal
- The $36 million round was led by Eurazeo, a Paris-based VC firm that focuses on backing high-growth companies across Europe.
- The Series A round saw participation from Open Ocean, Atlantic Labs, and several business angels, including Philipp Freise, Justin Reizes, Johannes Reck, and Din Bisevac.
- With the fresh capital raised, the firm plans to accelerate its expansion across Europe, enhance its AI-driven property management platform, and pursue strategic acquisitions to scale its operations and consolidate the fragmented short-term rental market.
