Wunderflats GmbH

Wunderflats GmbH offers a seamless online platform for renting furnished apartments, specializing in temporary housing solutions primarily within Germany's major cities, including Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt. Founded in 2015 in Berlin, Germany, Wunderflats GmbH provides a digital marketplace for furnished apartments. The company has completed a total of 6 deals, with their latest funding round being a Series C in June 2021, raising EUR 17. 8 million from Verdane Capital Advisors and other investors.

The founders are Arkadi Jampolski and Jan Hase, with Jan Hase currently serving as CEO. Wunderflats has not undergone any notable strategic pivots since its inception. Wunderflats specializes in offering furnished apartments for temporary housing across major German cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt. Their platform enables users to easily select and rent apartments through an online smart contract, streamlining the leasing process and ensuring that each listing is verified for accuracy.

This service primarily targets individuals and families in need of short to mid-term rentals, including expatriates, students, and professionals relocating for work or study, with plans to expand their services into international markets. Wunderflats generates revenue by charging tenants a service fee upon booking an apartment. This direct-to-consumer model facilitates non-binding booking requests, where once a request is accepted by a landlord, tenants must verify their identities and pay the service fee to secure their rental. This efficient process not only ensures upfront payment for tenants but also minimizes vacancy periods for landlords, reflecting the company's commitment to a holistic rental management approach supporting both parties throughout the rental process.

In June 2021, Wunderflats GmbH secured EUR 17. 8 million in Series C funding to drive its expansion across Europe and enhance its product offerings. The company aims to roll out new developments and services, with specific plans to enter additional European markets. The recent funding will be pivotal in supporting these initiatives and further establishing Wunderflats as a key player in the temporary housing sector.
