In March, Homebase announced it raised $125,000 from renowned US-based accelerator Y Combinator (YC).
Last year, the proptech startup had raised an undisclosed amount in its pre-Series A round to develop new alternative financial solutions to serve homeowners in Vietnam. According to a statement, the size of the round was a “7-figure sum”.
The burgeoning proptech market in Vietnam is increasingly catching the fancy of investors. In August, Vietnam-based private equity firm Mekong Capital invested $10.2 million in local proptech startup Rever from Mekong Enterprise Fund IV.
Rever last raised $2.3 million led by GEC-KIP Technology and Innovation Fund in September 2019. The startup had earlier bagged another $4 million financing from Vietnam’s homegrown venture capital firm VinaCapital Ventures.
Meanwhile, in 2020, Propzy closed a $25 million series A round led by real estate private equity firm Gaw Capital and SoftBank Ventures Asia.
“We expect investments to continue to flow into the Vietnam proptech space, particularly as Vietnam and the rest of the region recovers from COVID and as consumer sentiments continue to improve,” said Kenneth Low, principal at SoftBank Ventures Asia told DealStreetAsia in an earlier interview.
