CASAFARI

CASAFARI operates as a real estate data platform, addressing the informational fragmentation within the European property market. The company was founded in 2018 by Nils Henning, Mila Suharev, and Dmitry Moskalchuk, stemming from their own challenging experiences with property investment. The founders aimed to create a centralized system to bring transparency to what they perceived as a chaotic market.

The firm's core business revolves around its proprietary machine learning technology that indexes, aggregates, cleans, and deduplicates property listings from over 30,000 sources, including real estate portals and agency websites. This process creates a comprehensive and clean real estate database, tracking the history of each property, including price changes and listing status in real-time. The platform serves a broad client base of real estate professionals such as agents, brokers, developers, asset managers, investors, and banks. Revenue is generated on a subscription-based (SaaS) model for access to its applications and APIs, as well as through portfolio solutions for institutional investors.

CASAFARI's product suite includes a property search engine, comparative market analysis tools, market analytics, and a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The platform provides functionalities like property sourcing, online valuation, and real-time market monitoring. In 2020, CASAFARI acquired Moonshapes, the developer of Proppy CRM, which was subsequently integrated and became CASAFARI CRM. A further strategic acquisition occurred in 2023 with the purchase of Targomo, a German location intelligence specialist, to enhance its AI-based geo-location analysis capabilities. Key milestones include a seed funding round in 2019 led by Lakestar, a Series A round in 2021, and venture debt financing from BBVA Spark in 2024 to fuel expansion and M&A activities.
