Amsterdam-based home-building platform Haaven has raised €1.1 million in pre-seed funding to help address the housing crisis. The funding round was led by Speedinvest, with participation from business angels such as Thomas Mensink, Mike de Boer, Eric Klaassen, and Quintin Schevernels.
Founded in 2022 by Thomas Leeson, Davide Cardu, Sacha Bloem, and Dédé, Haaven aims to streamline the home-building process. The platform connects architects, builders, and contractors, while managing budgets and timelines for clients. Haaven offers various designs and custom home projects, providing instant quotes and linking clients with builders. Emphasizing sustainability and efficiency, Haaven ensures carbon-neutral homes that can be completed within 15 weeks. The platform collaborates with builders across Scandinavia, Italy, Estonia, and the Netherlands.
The pre-seed funding round was led by Vienna-based venture capital firm Speedinvest, which manages over €1 billion in assets and operates in Germany, the UK, France, and Austria.
“We are excited to support Haaven in their mission to address the critical housing shortage in Europe. Traditional home-building is fraught with challenges, but Haaven’s innovative platform simplifies it by directly connecting homeowners with architects and builders. We believe in this young, dynamic team and their potential to revolutionize the prefab housing industry,” said Jeroen Arts, Partner at Speedinvest.
The funding will be used to hire tech, product, sales, and technical support staff, enhance the customer experience, and centralize construction parties in Italy and the Netherlands.
