Casavo, a leading Italian proptech platform with the mission to change the way people sell, live and buy homes in Europe, announces a new capital raise of €200 million, bringing total capital raised to date to €385 million including debt and equity.

Founded in 2017 in Milan, Casavo has developed an innovative and unique business model: a technological platform called ‘Instant Buyer’ that submits direct offers to buy homes, and, after renovation, finds the final buyers.
