The Community receives €350,000.
LaComunity is a holiday home rental portal that has just received €350,000 from Emprendetur and Caixa Capital risk. LaComunity will use the resources obtained to continue expanding in international markets such as France, Holland, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia. In addition, over the next six months it intends to add more than 100,000 new properties around the world, making it one of the top 3 websites with the largest number of properties in Europe, and the second largest in Spain, with a total of 150,000 properties. "This year we have seen several technology companies in the vacation rental space receive funding, such as Lodgify, Apartum and Bemate. Each has a different business model. Lodgify is a portal for holiday home website creation and booking management. Apartum is a holiday flat comparator, using an advanced proprietary algorithm able to detect if the same flat is present on more than one booking website and always shows the best price. Bemate has focused on holiday home rentals with hotel service, where travellers can book a flat without giving up a series of included services such as key collection and delivery at the hotel, luggage storage or 24-hour concierge" says Diego Gutierrez of Bemate.
