Jaakko.com operates a marketplace that surfaces housing supply outside traditional public listings by letting buyers show anonymous interest based on an address and enabling direct matches when preferences align. The platform incorporates automated price valuations and AI-powered virtual staging for listing photos. Launched in early 2025 by Jaakko Saini and Sebastian Hemmilä, the service has amassed nearly 3,000 active buy and sell listings across more than 2,000 properties in Finland. Jaakko reports that the vast majority of its properties cannot be found on public markets and that new seller sign-ups more than doubled from Q4 to Q1 2026. The company ran a London pilot and says its platform is technically global, with organic interest emerging in Sweden, Germany, and Spain, informing its plans for international expansion. Financially, the startup secured €500K in mixed angel and institutional/public funding to further product development and fund expansion efforts.
