SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI—TheHouseMonk, a B2B SaaS company focused on the rental real estate industry, announced its raise of $5M from Aurum PropTech Ltd as a combination of equity and debt. TheHouseMonk plans to deploy these funds to fuel its expansion into Europe and US, as well as consolidate its position in Asia, which serves as its core market today.

“We are very excited to partner with Aurum PropTech as we continue building the de-facto platform for the rental real estate industry.

“Over the past few months, we have been on an inorganic growth spree and TheHouseMonk is another addition to our list of products and services enabling the creation of the entire PropTech value chain. We find TheHouseMonk as a great fit for enhancing efficiency in the residential rental business. It provides a compelling proposition for property owners and managers to monetize, maintain and manage their rental portfolio through its technology platform,” said Ashish Deora, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aurum Ventures, the parent company of Aurum PropTech.

Fuelled by the Millennial and Gen Z behavioral pattern and growth of the IT-ITES industry, rental housing is booming. It has created a huge market for organized and new-age coliving and student housing players who are looking to scale up their business. Real Estate Private Equity companies are making large investments in buying single-family rental properties, while co-living and student housing operators have raised significant capital from venture capital firms recently. TheHouseMonk’s software solution is an ideal platform for these players to organize and scale up their businesses.
