Germany: Berlin-based startup Arbio has raised $36 million in a Series A funding round led by Eurazeo, bringing the company’s total funding to more than $45 million.
Other backers include OpenOcean, Atlantic Labs, and angel investors Philipp Freise and Justin Reizes (KKR), Johannes Reck and Tao Tao (GetYourGuide), and Din Bisevac (Buena).
Arbio describes itself as building a full-stack, AI-powered operating system for holiday rentals, automating pricing and guest communications, operations, accounting, and distribution.
The company reports managing more than 1,000 units across Germany and Austria, with 10x revenue growth in the past two years and over 30 strategic acquisitions to date.
With the new funding, Arbio plans to accelerate its acquisition pipeline, enhance its AI capabilities, and expand into new European markets where short-term rental management remains fragmented.
Constantin Schröder, co-founder and CEO, said: “Starting as operators ourselves, we’ve felt where the real pain for operating and managing holiday rentals lies. At Arbio, we’re leveraging AI to change the fundamentals of a traditionally service-heavy sector.”
Elise Stern, investment director at Eurazeo, added: “Arbio is pioneering the AI-native model in one of Europe’s largest and least digitised service sectors. By combining technology, data, and operational excellence, they’re redefining what property owners and guests can expect.”
