Spotahome is an online rental platform specialising in mid- to long-term residential accommodation.[2]
History
Spotahome was founded in 2014 by Alejandro Artacho. Prior to founding the company, Artacho lived in China for three years, where he was involved in establishing an export business and a travel agency. After returning to Spain, he studied management and business at IE Business School in Madrid and later worked in the real estate sector in London and Lisbon. These professional experiences in international business and real estate contributed to the development of the business concept behind Spotahome.[2][3]
In 2018, Spotahome acquired Erasmusu, an online community platform for international students, following its Series A funding round.[4][5]
Spotahome relocated its headquarters from Madrid to London in 2019 as part of its international expansion.[6][7] In July 2019, Eduardo Garbayo joined the company as director of sales and operations.[1]
In April 2025, Spotahome completed a strategic financing round that included changes to its board of directors.[8]
In January 2026, Alejandro Artacho officially announced his departure from the company, and Eduardo Garbayo assumed the role of chief executive officer (CEO).[9][1][10]
Funding
In 2017, Spotahome closed Series A of €13.7 million, led by Passion Capital and Seaya Ventures, bringing its total funding to €21.1 million.[11][12]
In 2018, Spotahome raised a €34 million Series B funding round led by Kleiner Perkins, becoming the first Spanish startup based in Spain to receive investment from a top-tier Silicon Valley venture capital fund.[13]
In 2021, the company raised an additional €25 million in a funding round led by Kleiner Perkins and 14W, with participation from Mundi Ventures.[14]
In 2022, the company secured venture debt financing from Claret Capital Partners.[15]
