Clikalia is the Spanish prop-tech that has revolutionized real estate by bringing transparency and using technology to transform complicated, time-consuming processes into quick, simple transactions. We have changed the way things are done! We purchase homes in as little as seven days, adding liquidity to the market, and quickly sell or rent them after refurbishing and making them energy efficient. To make it better understood: Our refurbished homes are the closest thing to brand-new construction, all without the need for additional ground! It aligns with our mission, which is to update the housing stock by making it more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient while also expanding the housing supply by remodeling homes. In this process, we support our clients throughout the entire real estate cycle, ensuring they receive all the help they need (architecture and design, finance, legal counsel, removals, change of supplies, etc.). Our virtual tours are now regarded as industry standards. We produce incredibly realistic interactive renderings using the same state-of-the-art video game technology, allowing customers to visualize and explore their homes before the makeover even starts and customize it to their precise needs. Its no wonder that weve been honored for this innovative concept! Quite a story for such a young company, right? Clikalia was founded in 2018 and has already expanded from Spain to Mexico, Portugal, and France. In 2021, we achieved the largest round of funding for a startup in the history of Spain: more than 460 million euros! Among our investors are SoftBank, Fifth Wall, Luxor Capital, and Mouro Capital; they all have great knowledge of the sector and focus on technological innovation. Today, we are one of the most important scaleups in Spain, i.e. one of the leading fast-growing technology-based companies.
