NuroaThe "Real Estate Portal", an aggregator of real estate portal ads, which brings together all the available housing offers for sale or rent on the Internet.

Nuroa already sold its spin-off, Migoa, in the summer of 2015. The firm, founded in 2014, was acquired by the Catalan online company Only Apartments, which is listed on the Mercado Alternativo Bursátil (MAB).

Mitula success story of a Spanish company
Mitula went public on the Australian stock exchange last year, achieving a valuation in excess of €100M, with the aim of raising capital to continue to grow through further acquisitions of vertical aggregators and to make the company larger, bringing in more shareholders as the founders divest.
The choice of the Australian Stock Exchange was not by chance, according to Gonzalo del Pozo, CEO of Mitula Group, they chose it because of the high degree of specialisation that its investors have in the digital business and, more specifically, in the online classifieds market.
The company has made several acquisitions, including the purchase in May of its British competitor Lokku Limited.
