About HousingAnywhere

In 2009, Niels Van Deuren, a student at the Rotterdam School of Management, founded HousingAnywhere. The idea was born out of a personal need to find temporary housing while studying abroad. Recognizing a gap in the market for international student housing, Van Deuren launched a platform to connect students with short-term rental options.

HousingAnywhere quickly gained traction, expanding its reach beyond student housing to cater to young professionals seeking temporary accommodations. The platform's growth was fueled by its ability to simplify the rental process, providing a seamless experience for both landlords and tenants.

A significant milestone in HousingAnywhere's journey came in 2021 when the company raised €24 million in a Series C funding round. This influx of capital enabled the company to enhance its platform and expand its market presence across Europe.

In 2023, HousingAnywhere secured €8 million in debt financing from BNP Paribas. This strategic move was aimed at accelerating growth and supporting further acquisitions, solidifying its position as a leading rental accommodation marketplace.

Today, HousingAnywhere stands as a testament to the power of addressing niche market needs with innovative solutions. By focusing on the unique challenges faced by international students and young professionals, the company has carved out a significant niche in the global housing market.
