Rotterdam-based HousingAnywhere, a company that claims to be Europe’s leading housing rental platform, announced that it has raised €8M in a venture debt round from global bank BNP Paribas. This funding marks the start of a collaborative effort to transform the real estate sector using “innovative” technology solutions, aligning with HousingAnywhere’s mission to empower individuals to find homes worldwide. Christopher Kramme, Head of BNP Paribas Growth Solutions, says, “HousingAnywhere has demonstrated its ability to build and sustain a particularly compelling marketplace, despite a challenging environment these past years.” CJ Welkzijn and Louis-Marie Angevin, working with Innovative Clients for BNP Paribas Netherlands, add, “Here in The Netherlands, BNP Paribas remains committed to supporting the innovation economy by giving access to our global platform, including through the development of new capabilities like Venture Loan or data-driven RCF.”
