Startup Home365, which is headquartered in the U.S. and has an R&D center in Israel, is different in that aspect. The company, which announced the closing of a $26 million Series B led by Viola Growth on Tuesday, didn’t report any growth in deals but rather an increase in the value of its properties, which according to the company the number of which remains unchanged since June of last year. Home365 said at the time that it manages more than $1 billion in investment assets across 7,000 properties, while on Tuesday it announced that it still manages 7,000 properties, but that they are valued at $1.5 billion. According to the company, while the number of properties has not changed, these are different properties from last June and that is why they are valued higher. Home365 has also only added one additional U.S. state to the six it was already active in last year.
