May 2018Series CMatrix Partners China; Shanghai Huarui Bank; Mybank; Galaxy Holding Group; XW Bank; Shenzhen Capital Group; Legend Capital; SIG China (SIG Asia Investments); China CITIC Bank; Greentown Service Gr Co$157M-Uoko.com is a Chengdu-based Chinese startup focused on long-term apartment leasing, operating an online platform for renting properties amid rising demand from young people preferring to rent rather than buy in high-priced markets. The company completed a C1 funding round on May 10, 2018, raising RMB1 billion (US$157 million) in a mix of equity and debt financing, described as the first tranche of Series C. This round brought Uoko's total funding to approximately $183.58 million across prior rounds. The financing reflects strong investor interest in China's online long-term rental sector, where platforms like Uoko compete with rivals such as XiaoZhu and Dwell You (鼎家网络 / 鼎寓), which also offers real estate consulting, agency, purchase, and renting services in cities like Hangzhou. Uoko operates in the real estate tech space, covering residential leasing and related services.
Dec 2014Series BMatrix Partners China; Legend Capital; SIG China (SIG Asia Investments)$22M$80MUoko.com is a China-based online property portal specializing in affordable rental listings for studios, suites, and bedsits under $163 a month, targeting young people in second-tier cities like Chengdu and Wuhan where housing options are limited. The company, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Chengdu, aims to address the lack of affordable living spaces in provincial capitals. In December 2014, Uoko secured a $22 million Series B funding round led by Legend Capital (the corporate venturing arm of Legend Holdings), with participation from Matrix Partners China and SIG China (Susquehanna International Group). This round valued the company at $80 million post-money. Previously, Uoko raised nearly $500,000 in a 2013 seed round from Ferry Venture Capital and $4 million in Series A from Legend Capital. The fresh capital was intended for potential expansion to additional cities beyond its current operations in Chengdu and Wuhan, though final growth plans were undecided at the time. Uoko operates in the competitive real estate and construction sector, with rivals including Ziroom, Cjia, Danke Apartments, Blueground, and Qingke Gongyu. Total funding across rounds reached approximately $26.49 million from investors like China CITIC Bank International, China Renaissance Group, and Greentown Service Group by later years.
