Category Standard

Wunderflats is a well-established, high-traction 'Housing as a Service' market leader in Germany with over €12M in funding and ~150 employees. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and verified market dominance, the submission form was filled with low-effort, hyperbolic data (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, penalized slightly by the poor quality of the specific submission response.

Description
Everyone should be able to live and work wherever they want. That is why housing should be as convenient as possible so that there is more time for the really important things in life. \n\nThis is exactly what we at Wunderflats enable by offering furnished apartments on our platform from one month onwards. As the market leader in Germany, we want to give our tenants and landlords a unique service experience and empowering them with a new sense of freedom.\n\nWunderflats was founded in January 2015 and is well funded by successful VCs and business angels from the real estate as well as the internet sector. We raised the last round in July 2019 with €8 million, which leads to total funding of €12 million. \n\nSo that we can enable everyone to live anywhere anytime our team is looking forward to the support of more enthusiastic and like-minded people.
