CIUDAD DE MÉXICO, Mexico - Michimich -- -

●     Y Combinator, Goodwater Ventures, OneVC, Vast VC, Liquid2, and Myelin join their captable
●     Tech pundits like Elad Gil, Eric Wu, Austen Allred, and John Kobs are new Houm investors

Houm has recently raised USD $8 MM after their participation in the Y Combinator Winter 2021 program which they will invest in for growth and consolidation in their actual markets.

Houm started in 2018 in Chile, with the idea of the founders Benjamín Labra (CEO) and Nicolás Knockaert (COO) to disrupt the real estate industry, transforming a bureaucratic, informal and difficult process in the industry lacking technology and innovation. They saw an opportunity that could help real estate in the Latam region, and eventually, the world.

"One of the benefits our landlords most appreciate is that we pay the rent every month on the fifth, despite whether the tenant has paid or not. We can afford to do this because we have insurance that allows the landlord to be relaxed, not worried, and we handle any eviction lawsuit," says Benjamín Labra, CEO and cofounder.

Houm has 2 digit number growth and accounting with more than $300 million USD in asset management. Besides their business expanding internationally, their team has already 200 people and their freelance force of more than 200 Houmers.

Boiler Plate: Houm is an end-to-end solution that helps landlords to rent and sell their properties. It offers an online, fast and secure service that allows them to make the process up to 10 times faster, thanks to technology along with their Houmers, freelancers who use their own Houm app.
