Crowdhaus, a recently launched property discovery app, has closed 65% of pre-seed funding, led by SFC Capital, who have committed £162,500 to support the business.
In total, Crowdhaus has secured almost £200,000 in the pre-seed funding round.
Crowdhaus, which recently completed a successful trial with Winkworth in Kensal Rise, west London, allows users across London to find residential properties to buy and rent with a swipe-based user interface.
The platform also enables social property searching, including the ability to create ‘groups’ with fellow household members to privately discuss, feedback and rank relevant properties.
Conan Osborne, co-founder of Crowdhaus, said “We are really excited to join the SFC Capital portfolio. With an amazing team building the product in house, it’s such a boost to gain the support from one of the most recognisable names in the early-stage VC space.
“We are looking forward to combining our ambitions with their start-up expertise to take the business to the next level. Our vision is to become the go-to property discovery platform for a digitally native audience.”
Crowdhaus says that its core mission is to change the way people interact with property when searching for a new home.
It adds that SFC’s investment will enable the team to focus on four primary objectives, including building out the iOS app that launched in February of this year, developing Crowdhaus for other platforms, onboarding key hires to drive user growth, as well as forging new partnerships, and expanding on those with others, including specific Winkworth branches.
Edward Stevenson, investment executive at SFC Capital, noted, “SFC were delighted to have led Crowdhaus’ latest funding round.
“The team is working on a fantastic product that is aimed at a significant section of the market that is currently inadequately served by the current solutions.
“We are excited about what the future holds for the company, in a space that is crying out for change.”
Do buyers really have so many potential homes to choose from that they need to create a leaderboard and scoring system? How bizarre.
I can even send messages to my family using this app. In response, Facebook and WhatsApp must be holding the equivalent of an emergency COBRA meeting.

Imagine if one of the portals actually integrated this into their site. I could see this becoming the norm with the way that people interact these days. Instead of sharing the listing through whatsapp, simply save it to your shared account and comment and share information.
