Raus
Hospitality-tech startup that offers new opportunities to take a break from big city life
About Raus
Raus is a hospitality-tech company founded in Berlin, Germany, in 2021 that provides nature getaways for city dwellers. The company operates an online platform where customers can book short-term stays in design-led, sustainable cabins located in serene, natural landscapes, primarily around major German cities like Berlin.
Read full description
The business model is centered around offering a seamless and accessible escape from urban life. Raus manages the entire experience, from the booking process on its platform to the stay itself. The cabins are equipped with modern amenities, aiming to provide comfort while encouraging a connection with nature. The primary clientele consists of individuals and couples living in cities who are looking for short, spontaneous, and restorative breaks without extensive travel.
Raus has a direct-to-consumer (D2C) business model, generating revenue from accommodation bookings. The company has successfully raised capital from investors, including a significant funding round of €8.5 million, to expand its network of cabins, enhance its booking platform, and scale its operations across Germany and potentially other European markets.
