Berlin-based Arbio secures fresh funding led by Eurazeo to expand its AI-powered property management system across Europe.
Arbio, the Berlin-based startup developing an AI-native operating system for holiday rentals, has raised $36 million in Series A funding led by Eurazeo, bringing its total funding to over $45 million.
The round also saw participation from OpenOcean, Atlantic Labs, and notable angel investors including Philipp Freise and Justin Reizes (KKR), Johannes Reck and Tao Tao (GetYourGuide), and Din Bisevac (Buena).
The new capital will fuel Arbio’s European expansion, strengthen its AI automation capabilities, and support an acquisition pipeline aimed at consolidating the fragmented vacation rental management market.
Founded in 2020 by childhood friends Constantin Schröder and Paul Bäumler, Arbio emerged from their own experiences as Airbnb travelers frustrated by inconsistent quality and inefficient management. Their insight: despite 6.5 million alternative accommodations across Europe, property operations remain largely manual and disjointed.
Arbio’s AI-native property management system acts as a full-stack digital operator. It automates core functions such as distribution, guest communication, accounting, dynamic pricing, and maintenance coordination, while learning from each interaction to improve performance over time.
“Starting as operators ourselves, we’ve felt where the real pain for managing holiday rentals lies” said Constantin Schröder, co-founder and CEO of Arbio. “At Arbio, we’re leveraging AI to change the fundamentals of a traditionally messy, service-heavy sector, delivering the highest value to homeowners and seamless experiences for travelers.”
The platform integrates AI across every workflow, from optimizing nightly rates and predicting occupancy to handling complex guest interactions in multiple languages. For owners, it offers higher returns and reduced manual work; for guests, faster responses and consistent quality.
Arbio already manages over 1,000 properties across Germany and Austria and reports 10x revenue growth in the past two years. Its dedicated M&A team has completed 30+ acquisitions, positioning the company as one of Europe’s fastest-scaling players in AI-driven property operations.
“Arbio is pioneering the AI-native model in one of Europe’s largest and least digitized service sectors” said Elise Stern, Investment Director at Eurazeo. “By combining technology, data, and operational excellence, they’re redefining what property owners and guests can expect. We believe Arbio will become the category leader in this multi-billion-euro market.”
The fresh funding will enable rapid expansion into new European markets, targeting hundreds of thousands of property owners seeking modern, AI-enabled management. Arbio’s lean model allows scalable growth without sacrificing service quality, a key differentiator in the capital-intensive rental industry.
