  • Housr

    Led · Equity · Oct 2025

    Founded in 2021 by University of Manchester students Harry Panter and Ben Clayton, Housr provides an all-in-one mobile platform that lets students find rentals, roommates, local perks and even ride-sharing options. The free, student-exclusive app is designed as a "student OS," integrating housing search with day-to-day campus life tools that feel native to Gen Z users. The company reported 186 % year-over-year revenue growth prior to its latest financing, underscoring rapid market adoption. Management plans to deploy fresh capital into product innovation, talent acquisition and aggressive expansion across key university markets in the U.K. and U.S. Housr’s near-term goal is to serve 1 million students within the next 12 months. Ultimately, the team aims to modernize the global student rental market by replacing antiquated, fragmented processes with a seamless digital ecosystem.
