PropTech startup Powerhouse, the Salesforce-native operating platform for co-living, student housing, and senior residences, has raised €750,000 in seed funding to drive its European expansion and integrate AI capabilities across its product suite.
The seed round was led by Aconterra, a venture capital fund specializing in PropTech and smart living, alongside business angels from the European real estate and technology sectors.
Transforming Real Estate from Bricks to Brands
As real estate portfolios increasingly move toward service-oriented, mixed-use models, Powerhouse enables operators to automate payments, streamline administration, and enhance resident experience — helping them run branded living spaces with the efficiency of modern hospitality.
“Real estate is shifting from bricks to brands, where service and experience define value,” said Floris Lauwerier, Co-Founder and CEO of Powerhouse.
“Built on Salesforce, our platform makes that experience scalable for operators across Europe.”

From Niche Tool to Pan-European Operating System
Initially developed as a billing solution for senior residences, Powerhouse has evolved into a comprehensive operating system for shared living. The platform now manages over 10,000 units across Europe, with a goal to surpass 100,000 units in the coming years.
Its customers include operators in co-living, student accommodation, and senior housing, reflecting a growing need for unified tools to manage operations, community engagement, and financial workflows.
Launch of Tenant App and Platform-Wide AI
Alongside the new funding, the startup is introducing a white-label tenant app that consolidates every aspect of the resident experience — from building access and rent payments to maintenance requests and community communication — into a single interface.
The company is also deploying AI-driven automation across the platform to digitize workflows, reduce manual processes, and improve operational performance.
More than 3,000 students already use Powerhouse’s technology as active tenants.
