Spaceflow raises $1.8M for its scalable tenant experience platform

7 minutes read

Spaceflow today announced its completion of a $1.8 million funding round led by Credo Ventures with participation from Day One Capital and UP21. The round will help Spaceflow achieve its strategic growth goals in the USA and UK, and also expand its product development team to continue refining its platform and service offerings.

Spaceflow is a plug & play tenant experience and community engagement platform that connects space users to amenities, services, and community life with a single click in the mobile app. By enabling landlords and building operators to easily offer the space-as-a-service experience to tenants and guests, Spaceflow helps improve satisfaction, and in turn, attract and retain top tenants to raise profits.

As a group, Spaceflow’s investors are helping build a new, user-focused vision for the real estate business, where space end users, not just building owners, are front and center.

"We believe there is a lot of potential for disruption in the commercial real estate market. In recent years, we could witness the rise of several proptech solutions and the trend of digitalization of buildings is undeniable. In Spaceflow we see a great combination of a capable, ambitious team and easily scalable product, which can be implementd across various verticals within the industry."
Pavel Jiranek Credo Ventures

In previous rounds, Spaceflow was invested by UP21. Before, a core group of angel investors with backgrounds in commercial real estate leadership invested.

"As investors, we believe that Spaceflow represents a top-notch team with an excellent, modern product which has a huge potential for rapid worldwide scaling. This has also been proven by Spaceflow's business results over the last 12 months. In addition, the proptech area has been one of the fastest-growing segments in the last three years."

Spaceflow helps improve satisfaction, and in turn, attract and retain top tenants to raise profits.
"1.25 million USD is the cost of losing a single tenant. The price tag is simply too high to ignore. In the past, property owners invested heavily in technology tenants don’t see. Now, PropTech solutions will not just make buildings smarter, they will help buildings to become more people-oriented environments; environments with access to all types of services, amenities and a strong sense of community." Balik adds, suggesting that the platform also helps landlords integrate their building ecosystem with services to cultivate additional revenue streams.

The company has come a long way since its founding in 2016, spreading to 9 markets around the world and a footprint on both sides of the Atlantic. In that timeframe, tenant experience has become a buzzword with a lot of industry attention.

Real estate is no longer just B2B. It is now B2C. Spaceflow accelerates this transformation of real estate from space-to-rent business to space-as-a-service business.

While other tenant experience companies typically offer solutions for single buildings customized to every asset, which is a costly process that can take months to institute, Spaceflow emphasises on plug & play ease of use and efficiency in scaling to service any portfolio size. Thanks to that, it can serve traditional office as well as co-working, or co-living.
