Powerhouse, the Salesforce-native platform for student housing, co-living and senior residences, has raised €750,000 in seed funding to accelerate its European expansion and integrate AI across its platform.

The future of real estate

As real estate portfolios evolve toward mixed-use and service-driven models, Powerhouse helps operators manage everything in one place: simplifying administration, automating payments, and improving communication with residents.

“Powerhouse is leading the shift as real estate moves from bricks to brands, where service and experience define value. Built on Salesforce, our platform makes this experience scalable for operators across Europe.”

Floris Lauwerier - CEO Powerhouse‍

From niche solution to European player

What started as a billing solution for senior residences has grown into a fully integrated platform that supports operators across co-living, student housing and senior housing. Powerhouse aims to manage more than 100,000 units in the coming years and become the standard for branded real estate in Europe.

Introducing STAY – the tenant app with built-in AI automation

Powerhouse is launching STAY, the resident app that transforms renting into a seamless experience. From building access and payments, to events and community updates, everything is unified in one intuitive app.

Behind the scenes, native AI automation handles the heavy lifting – from contract updates and deposit payouts to reminders and maintenance requests – so operators can scale effortlessly while residents enjoy instant service.

Already trusted by 3,000+ residents, STAY proves how technology can deliver both happier tenants and leaner operations.

The seed round of €750,000 was led by Aconterra, a venture capital fund specialized in proptech and smart living. Additional backing came from Angelwise and seasoned business angels.
