Rive (formerly Kodit.io), a Helsinki, Finland-based real estate services platform, announced that it secured €23 million in a Series A funding round led by IDC Ventures with participation from existing investors.
The funds will be used to develop and scale its integrated real estate services platform for buying and selling properties, including instant cash offers, tech-enabled real estate brokerage, and rent-to-own.
“We are very excited to partner with IDC Ventures to help us in our ambition to radically improve the consumer experience in the housing market and help millions of people to change their lives and properties,” says Kalle Salmi, founder, and CEO of Rive. “With this fresh funding and a new brand, we are ready to accelerate organic and inorganic growth in Europe.”
“During times of economic uncertainty and declining housing prices, our ability to provide liquidity and real-time understanding of the market becomes crucial. There is a rapidly increasing demand for our services, and we are dedicated to positively impacting the housing market one transaction at a time,” Salmi continues.
To date, the real estate platform has acquired four real estate agencies and two rent-to-own platforms, grown 5x YoY, and sold over €300M worth of real estate annually.
