Our take
While the short-term rentals market has exploded over the previous decade, led by AirBnb, no startup has managed to guarantee quality for consumers while delivering revenue to hotels and hosts alike. NUMA aims to fill that gap.
The company differentiates itself in the eyes of consumers, from competitors like Sonder, by including properties at all price points, as well as appealing to third-party hoteliers with its own tech stack solution for a percentage of revenue.
With its initial expansion hopes hindered by the pandemic, the company is now back to its focus on scaling across Europe. By growing its number of units, NUMA will be able to better serve ‘midstay’ customers who seek to stay for one month or longer in different cities, as well as catering to the new nomadic workforce.
