## About

Founded in 2015 by co-founders Marcus Rader, Saber Kordestanchi, and Mikko Nurminen and based in Helsinki, Finland, Hostaway Oy develops an online property management platform that allows vacation rental managers to rent extra rooms or even provide outsourced property management. It also has features such as property listing, price adjustments, and guest communication. In May 2023, Hostaway Oy raised USD 175 million in growth funding led by investor PSG Equity. In December 2024, Hostaway Oy raised USD 365 million in venture funding led by new investor General Atlantic, with participation from returning investor PSG Equity.   Hostaway Oy provides a central hub for managing reservations, guest communication, owner portals, and financial reporting. The software integrates with various online booking platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) to list properties and manage calendars seamlessly. This ensures maximum exposure for vacation rentals across different booking channels, increasing occupancy rates and revenue. Additionally, Hostaway offers tools to create a booking website, manage online promotions, and leverage widgets for integrating with existing websites. This empowers property managers to establish an online presence and attract potential guests directly through their channels. The platform allows users to automate sending messages, managing reviews, processing payments, and even managing cleaning and maintenance schedules. The tool also enables users to gain insights into rental performance with detailed reports on occupancy, revenue, pricing trends, and guest behaviour. This data-driven approach helps property managers make informed decisions about pricing strategies, identify areas for improvement, and optimize their overall rental business. In August 2025, Hostaway Oy raised USD 175 million in venture funding led by returning investor PSG Equity. The company will use the August 2025 funding to hire additional staff, enhance customer support, and expand through strategic partnerships or acquisitions.
