Studapart SAS

Studapart SAS is a specialized platform that facilitates the rental of residential accommodations, catering to individuals, businesses, students, and professionals in both domestic and international markets. Founded in 2014 in Paris, France, Studapart SAS operates an online platform that streamlines the rental process for residential properties. The company was co-founded by Alexandre Ducoeur and Amaury Roland, both of whom have experience in the real estate sector. In February 2022, Studapart was acquired by Housing Anywhere BV, a move aimed at enhancing the technological capabilities within the residential rental market.

The company has secured a total funding of EUR 0. 760 mn through a SERIES A round, led by investors including Bpifrance and ISAI, and has conducted four notable deals since its inception. Studapart specializes in the rental of residential accommodations for durations ranging from one to twenty-four months. The platform serves a diverse clientele including individuals, businesses, students, and professionals, primarily within France and in cities such as Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, and Toulouse, as well as expanding to Belgium and Italy.

Studapart's offerings include a user-friendly online platform that supports everything from application processing to property viewings, ensuring that all listings are verified to combat issues like fraud and cancellations. Studapart generates revenue through facilitating online rental agreements, charging service fees associated with each booking. Clients typically pay their first month's rent along with service fees upfront, which simplifies transactions for both tenants and landlords. Furthermore, the company offers additional services such as the Studapart Guarantee for landlords and various insurance options for renters.

Partnerships with educational institutions further bolster revenue by providing dedicated student housing services. Following its acquisition by Housing Anywhere BV in February 2022, Studapart plans to leverage its enhanced technological resources to improve availability, affordability, and accessibility in the rental market. The company aims to expand into new geographic regions and is focused on advancing product offerings tailored for residential markets, although specific dates and product details are yet to be disclosed. The recent funding of EUR 0.

760 mn from the SERIES A round will be utilized to support these initiatives and drive further innovation within their marketplace.
