The company, headquartered in Toronto with a fully remote workforce of over 230 employees across 44 countries, enables short-term rental owners and managers to automate property management through a platform with hundreds of API connections and integrations, serving properties in over 90 countries. Hostaway holds the highest partnership designations from Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com, and has preferred relationships with Google, Expedia, and Homes & Villas by Marriott. The transaction, valued at $925 million, marks the largest to date in its market segment, with General Atlantic and PSG Equity becoming significant minority shareholders. The investment follows Hostaway's significant growth period, bolstered by PSG Equity's backing since 2023, and will fund international expansion into markets like France, Spain, and Italy, product development, and AI initiatives.

May 2023Undisclosed stagePSG Equity (lead)$175M-Hostaway is a leading property management software platform for short-term rentals, offering an all-in-one system that automates marketing, communication, analytics, payments, and distribution channels for vacation rental property owners and managers. Founded in 2015 by Marcus Rader, Saber Kordestanchi, and Mikko Nurminen, the company raised $175 million USD (C$237.7 million) in growth equity financing from PSG Equity in May 2023, described as the largest funding round in the vacation rental sector at the time. PSG was the sole investor, with proceeds intended to fuel product enhancements, headcount growth, and capitalizing on the travel rebound; sources indicate PSG acquired a majority ownership stake, though Hostaway did not confirm details like primary vs. secondary capital. The investment highlighted Hostaway's incredible growth and profitability, with the company claiming revenues increased more than ten times since 2021. PSG praised Hostaway as a category leader with strong execution and multiple value creation levers, positioning it to scale its integrated platform, expand globally, and meet rising short-term rental demand. Hostaway had previously raised $1.9 million in seed funding in 2018 from Vendep Capital and a $75,000 grant in 2016. In a follow-on development, Hostaway raised $365 million in December 2024 led by General Atlantic with PSG participation, at a post-money valuation of $925 million, marking one of the largest transactions in STR technology. PSG noted Hostaway had grown three-fold since the 2023 investment, emphasizing its expertise and customer demand. Funds supported international expansion (e.g., France, Spain, Italy), product development, AI initiatives, and further growth, with both investors becoming significant minority shareholders post-round.
