Israeli startup Venn has signed the largest agreement in its history, Calcalist has learned. The company, which developed a resident management platform, will now provide its services to the American real estate company Bozzuto, a specialist in apartment rentals. According to estimates, Venn will receive several million dollars in the initial phase. As more features are introduced for Bozzuto's use, Venn's total revenue from the deal could potentially reach $10 million.
Sources close to Venn revealed that Bozzuto conducted due diligence on the platform for two years before finalizing the agreement. The platform, which includes AI components and maximizes automation, will serve 105,000 apartments owned by Bozzuto, where more than 300,000 tenants reside. This deal will increase the number of apartments managed by Venn in the U.S. to 150,000.
