In early 2018, the company merged with Orbirental, a fellow specialist in vacation rental management technology.
Hostfully’s seed funding is reflective of the investor appetite around the wider alternative accommodation sector.
In recent months, significant funding rounds have been announced for a number of players in the space including Selina’s $100 million Series C, Lyric’s $160 million Series B and Guesty’s $35 million raise.
