Ratio, a startup that’s shaking up Spain’s real estate scene landed €650,000 in funding to keep growing its platform that connects property developers with investors.
The investment round was led by business angels from SeQura, a fintech firm, and Guinot Prunera, a real estate company, as well as private equity firm Orion Capital Managers, who put in €450,000. The state-backed Empresa Nacional de Innovación (ENISA) chipped in €200,000 through a participating loan.
This cash injection is a vote of confidence in Ratio’s business model, which has already facilitated over €10 million in real estate investments. The company is now eyeing a big jump in business, targeting €500,000 in revenue by the end of 2025.
What’s the Big Deal?
Ratio’s platform lets property developers manage their projects digitally and tap into a global network of investors. The company claims this streamlined process cuts out unnecessary fees and red tape, making it more efficient for everyone involved. Business angels from SeQura and Guinot Prunera were impressed by Ratio’s tech and the value it brings. Juan Ignacio Cifre, a shareholder at Guinot Prunera, said the real estate industry is ripe for modernization. He believes Ratio is on the right track, combining tech with rigorous project vetting to create a unique offering for both developers and investors.
The funding will help Ratio roll out its platform to new markets in Spain, including Madrid and the Balearic Islands. This year alone, they’ve already worked on six projects in Barcelona, attracting over 170 investors from around the world.
A Stamp of Approval
The participating loan from ENISA is more than just a financial boost – it’s a seal of approval from a state-backed institution. To qualify, Ratio had to demonstrate innovation, a solid business model, and a robust financial structure. ENISA’s backing is a testament to Ratio’s professionalism and its ability to scale sustainably.
Ratio’s CEO, Nicolás Araujo Müller, said the ENISA process helped affirm the company’s high standards and financial health. With this funding in place, Ratio is well-positioned to make a bigger impact in Spain’s real estate market.
