Anyplace Raises $5.3 Million to Accelerate Expansion of Remote Work-Friendly Rentals
Flexible-term rentals featuring a fully-equipped workspace available in major U.S. cities.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 24, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Anyplace, a marketplace platform for flexible-term furnished housing, announced today that it has raised $5.3 million in Series A financing. The round was led by GA technologies; Jason Calacanis, Launch Fund, Keisuke Honda, and East Ventures also participated. Together with this latest round, Anyplace has raised a total of $8 million. With the inflow of new capital, the company will continue to expand its network of remote work-friendly apartments in major cities across the United States.
Over the last few years, remote work has become the norm, allowing millions of people around the world to experience a work-from-anywhere lifestyle. This newfound freedom has led to a surge in demand for flexible-term rentals. However, most of the accommodations available rarely guarantee high-speed internet or provide a comfortable workspace, making it difficult to confidently choose a place that can ensure the same productivity levels as a home office.
"As a remote team that embraces traveling while working, we had an inside perspective of this problem and saw the need for a solution," says Steve Naito, co-founder of Anyplace.
"That's why we created accommodations specially designed for remote workers called Anyplace Select. Every Select apartment has a fully equipped office setup unlike anything found in other rentals or even at coworking spaces. It includes a height-adjustable standing desk, ergonomic chair, 34-inch ultra-wide monitor, professional microphone, webcam, collapsible green screen, laptop stand, docking station, key light, and more. WiFi speed will never be an issue either, as all units have gigabit internet."
Anyplace Select has launched in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and New York City. This round of funding will allow the company to aggressively expand its inventory to meet the rising demand in those cities, while simultaneously opening remote work-friendly apartments in additional locations in the United States.
"We aim to become the go-to accommodation platform for remote workers. Broadening the footprint of Anyplace Select is our path to solidify this position."
