📈 Zefir raises €11M to speed up real estate transactions. The French PropTech uses its collective selling approach to halve transaction times and increase agent revenue by up to €28K per year. "By reshaping the roles in real estate transactions and guaranteeing adequate compensation for everyone, we've managed to halve the time it takes to buy and sell homes while boosting agents' earnings."  - Remy Fabre, Zefir co-founder and CEO The Collective Selling model got off to an explosive start, skyrocketing from zero to €200 million transaction value in just 12 months and a clear path towards profitability. This prompted long- time partner Sequoia Capital to increase its investment in Zefir alongside Heartcore Capital , Stride and Third Kind Venture. Zigg Capital also became investors.

As we celebrate this milestone, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our journey and share some exciting insights. SuiteSpot software was first released in 2009 within The Byng Group, a construction services and general contractor serving the multifamily industry. It was initially used to manage portfolio-wide unit turnovers and renovations. Having successfully implemented the initial version of SuiteSpot for more than 50,000 unit turnovers across numerous multifamily operators, we realized the significance of establishing SuiteSpot as a separate software company. This strategic move was fundamental to our commitment to catering specifically to the needs of enterprise multifamily owners and operators. In 2017, we launched as an independent technology software company, and since then, we have been dedicated to serving multifamily enterprise clients across North America. From the outset, we recognized that our enterprise clients needed a portfolio-wide focus and a service approach that goes beyond traditional SaaS delivery. They required deep integrations and seamless end-to-end workflows to eliminate operational blind spots, optimize workforce management, expedite turnovers and renovations, and enhance resident satisfaction to boost retention. Today, this concept is widely known as maintenance centralization. With our recent Series A funding, we are thrilled to fuel our continued success and innovation in AI.  As our industry continues to shine a light on the value of centralization, the future of SuiteSpot is brighter than ever! #SuiteSpot #Multifamily #PropTech #Innovation #MaintenaceCentralizationSoftware
