NUMA Group is a digital hospitality platform, which uses proprietary technology to optimise hotel operating processes and create more user-friendly platforms for clients. It has announced the raising of $59 million of growth equity capital in a Series C funding round led by Verlinvest.
The group will put the funding towards the development of its technology stack and the continued expansion of its platform across Europe. Created in Berlin in 2019, NUMA recently reached €1.5 billion in real estate assets under management and has over 4,500 rooms and apartments across 28 major European cities.
NUMA Group’s platform fully digitises the hospitality experience, thus allowing clients to make room reservations, check in and out, access customer service, and book additional services all from one single online space.
As part of this round of fundraising, Verlinvest will join with Cape Capital, NUMA’s existing investor base, which also includes Headline, Cherry Ventures, DN Capital, and Soravia.
Our mission at NUMA is to create a new category in hospitality that meets the needs of modern consumers. We have only scratched the surface in terms of digitising and enhancing the entire travel experience and are always striving to better connect our guests with the cities they’re visiting. We’re delighted to partner with Verlinvest, whose team shares our vision for transforming the sector and whose expertise in scaling globally successfully business will help us to achieve our goal of creating an iconic brand for the modern traveller. With additional financial firepower, we can accelerate the continued development of our market-leading proprietary technology while maintaining a strong balance sheet. We’re excited to further unlock prime locations across Europe together with our trusted real estate partners, financing partners, and most importantly, our guests.
Christian Gaiser, CEO & Co-Founder of NUMA
In recent years, traditional hotel chains have struggled to respond to the needs of ever more digitally-savvy, time-poor consumers while being constrained by legacy backend infrastructures, large networks of franchisees, and slow-moving cultures. NUMA provides a holistic solution to these problems with its user-friendly interface on the front end and its new tech-first, data-led model that optimises business processes on the back end. NUMA fits squarely into our strategy of backing ambitious tech-enabled businesses that are obsessed with offering superior consumer experiences. We’re excited to help Christian and his team to build Europe’s first truly digital hospitality brand.
