Wander announced a $50 million Series B funding round, co-led by QED Investors and Fifth Wall with participation from Redpoint Ventures, Uncork, Starwood, and Breyer Capital and many other returning and new investors. The capital will accelerate Wander’s expansion and deepen its investment in WanderOS, its proprietary AI operating system that manages logistics and guest needs with hotel-grade consistency, at scale.

“We are excited to continue to support John Andrew and the whole Wander team by co-leading their Series B round. Wander has built a world-class brand with industry-leading software to bring the Wander experience to thousands. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive with NPS scores in the 70s and 80s. In just one year, the company has signed over 1,000 homes and looks to continue adding coverage to the map. WanderOS has enabled this tremendous growth while making the process for owners to onboard to Wander seamless,” said Chuckie Reddy, Partner at QED Investors.

“The short-term rental market represents a massive and under-optimized asset class, and Wander is uniquely positioned to lead it into its next chapter,” shared Dan Wenhold, Partner, Fifth Wall. “By combining premium inventory, a trusted brand, and category-defining software, Wander is setting a new standard for consistency and scale in a historically fragmented space—delivering an end-to-end, high-touch, high-quality travel experience. We’re proud to co-lead this round and to continue backing John Andrew and the Wander team as they redefine the future of travel.”

Wander is targeting the $35B+ tier of luxury homes across North America and beyond – the properties that guests remember and owners seek to maximize. With this Series B funding, Wander will expand into new markets, invest further in AI-powered operations, and continue building a global brand grounded in quality, trust, and technology.

BuiltAPI GmbH, the company pioneering API-driven data infrastructure for real estate investment and asset management, has successfully closed its latest funding round backed by industry leaders including Second Century Ventures, TDS, and Propertymark. The investment marks a major milestone as BuiltAPI expands its services across Europe and the UK, following its graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator Program.

BuiltAPI tackles one of the real estate sector’s most persistent problems: fragmented, siloed data ecosystems. The company provides a robust API framework that enables seamless connectivity between legacy systems, modern SaaS tools, and intelligent automation platforms — with interoperability, governance, and cybersecurity at its core.

“We’re building the backbone of real estate data infrastructure,” said Olga Dentzel, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “This funding and the support of the REACH UK program are accelerating our ability to deliver secure, scalable integrations to clients across borders.”

BuiltAPI’s technology is already making an impact with major real estate institutions such as HIH Real Estate and its fund service platform INTREAL, through their digital unit INTREAL Solutions. These collaborations highlight a shared vision for practical and scalable digital transformation in real estate asset and investment management.

“The industry doesn’t need yet another tool — it needs a connective tissue,” added Ivan Nokhrin, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “Our mission is to empower real estate professionals to access, share, and act on their data securely and without barriers.”

Graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator — the scale-up program backed by Second Century Ventures – marks BuiltAPI’s official entry into the UK market. The program has played a key role in unlocking investors support and refining BuildAPI’s growth trajectory.
