Sobre Hundredrooms

Hundredrooms es un metabuscador de apartamentos para vacaciones que  fue creado en 2014 en Palma de Mallorca.  La empresa, emplea un algoritmo que permite al usuario comparar precios para un mismo alojamiento publicado en diversas webs de reservas en una sola búsqueda.

Hundredrooms está haciendo una gran inversión para crear un producto innovador, capaz de obtener los mejores resultados para sus clientes. Prueba de ello es que la compañía ha incrementado su equipo de trabajadores hasta los 60, de los cuales 40 desempeñan tareas únicamente de tecnología y producto.

La empresa creada en 2014, va a ronda por año. En el 2015 cerró una ronda de €1M y en el 2016 una de €4,1M ambas rondas sirvieron para impulsar la expansión de la empresa a EEUU y Latinoamérica. Según palabras de Jose Luis Martinez, directivo de Hundredrooms  han decidido primero crecer en Latinoamérica porque “en mercados más maduros como el europeo es más difícil y necesitas mucho músculo financiero, mientras Latinoamérica y Estados Unidos son mercados con potencial y más vírgenes"

Entre los inversores de la compañía se encuentran Seaya Ventures, Inveready, Bankinter y Media Digital.

¿Por qué ha decidido cerrar una nueva ronda?

En el 2017 han apostado por cerrar otra ronda de inversión de otros €4M. La ronda ha vuelto a estar liderada por Seaya Ventures y en ella ha participado también Mediaset, además de los inversores actuales, Inveready, Bankinter, Atresmedia y Media Digital Ventures.

Hundredrooms utilizará el capital de la inversión para consolidar su expansión internacional en Francia, Italia, Reino Unido y Alemania, para afianzar el desarrollo de producto, lanzar nuevos servicios y mantener el liderazgo de la aplicación móvil.

Entre las nuevas funcionalidades que ha desarrollado el comparador se encuentran, la capacidad de ahorrar entre un 25% y un 35% en el precio final del alojamiento. Además, la herramienta predice si un alojamiento de similares características al que busca un usuario puede tener precios disponibles cambiando las fechas de búsqueda.

Inversión en el mercado de alquiler vacacional en España

En los últimos años en España las plataformas de alquiler vacacional han podido crecer gracias al apoyo de los inversores. Apartum por ejemplo en febrero de este mismo año ha recibido una ronda de €2M para poder seguir creciendo a nivel internacional. MyTwinPlace , startup de viaje colaborativo recibió una ronda de 750.000€ el año pasado.

Otra empresa Española Bemate, compró en 2015 Alterkeys para  expandir su negocio de alquiler colaborativo a Europa.

for M&A
Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
