The new funding will allow the company to expand its product and services, and to extend its geographic reach to other parts of <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span>. This follows a <span class=\"xn-money\">$10M<\/span> Series A round in early 2020. <\/p>\n<p>Also participating in the round are Series A investors Acrew Capital; Kaszek Ventures; NFX, a firm co-founded by Trulia founder <span class=\"xn-person\">Pete Flint<\/span>; IMO Ventures; and Zillow co-founder <span class=\"xn-person\">Spencer Rascoff<\/span>. Hometeam Ventures also invested in the Series B round. <\/p>\n<p>La Haus facilitates traditional real estate transactions digitally, enabling entirely online transactions, and is building a first-of-its-kind, end-to-end marketplace for <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span>. The company makes homeownership more accessible to many in <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span>, where lack of infrastructure and access to transparent information can impede people&#8217;s ability to buy homes.

Before now, it&#8217;s been out of reach for many Mexicans and Colombians. We&#8217;re excited to use this funding to bring this opportunity to many more people across <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>La Haus was well-positioned to help Latin Americans buy homes online \u2014\u00a0 and to help sellers and developers sell those homes \u2014\u00a0 when Covid struck. Amid the backdrop of a booming housing market, the company has experienced double-digit month-over-month revenue growth, while increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction. In <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>, the company quintupled its business over the last 12 months, and facilitates more transactions than any other brokerage in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico City<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>Also in the past year, La Haus has hired a management team experienced in scaling companies. Among its leaders is Chief Product Officer <span class=\"xn-person\">Thomas Floracks<\/span>, co-founder of VivaReal, the real estate portal in <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span>. After VivaReal merged with Zap Imoveis, the combined company was recently acquired by OLX Brazil for US <span class=\"xn-money\">$650 million<\/span>.

La Haus stood out as a leader in this space due to their vision and track record, having already scaled their young company across two countries. We are excited about the company&#8217;s prospects and look forward to being a part of their continued success.&#8221;\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>La Haus has also developed partnerships with significant developers in <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span>, including <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span>-based GDC Desarrollos, CLASS, Punto Destino, <span class=\"xn-location\">Yukon<\/span>, and Terraforma. Developers have leveraged La Haus&#8217;s audience and transaction technology to take online a formerly showroom- and staff-driven sales process, shortening time to sale. <\/p>\n<p>La Haus was founded by Jer\u00f3nimo Uribe, CEO; <span class=\"xn-person\">Rodrigo S\u00e1nchez-R\u00edos<\/span>, president; Tom\u00e1s Uribe, director; and <span class=\"xn-person\">Santiago Garcia<\/span>, CTO. Jer\u00f3nimo Uribe and S\u00e1nchez-R\u00edos met at <span class=\"xn-org\">Stanford University<\/span>, and prior to La Haus they started and ran Jaguar Capital, a Colombian real estate development company with over <span class=\"xn-money\">$350 million<\/span> of retail and residential projects.
