By Annie Baker • Oct 24, 2023

Anyplace – a short-term rental company specializing in remote work-friendly accommodations complete with high-speed internet and efficient office setups – recently announced a $10.27 million Series B funding round. About $8.27 million was raised as equity, while a strategic $2 million in debt was secured from Silicon Valley Bank.

Spearheaded by the LAUNCH Fund and its founder Jason Calacanis, this investment highlights the growing demand for flexible, work-friendly housing solutions. And Michael Savino, President of the LAUNCH Fund, is a new addition to Anyplace’s board. This funding initiative also gained support from a roster of prominent investors, including CapitalX, Gaingels, Riverside Ventures, Potluck Ventures, MSIVC, FreakOut Shinsei Fund, Delight Ventures, and many other influential individual backers.

The company’s rapid growth can be credited to strategic partnerships with real estate giants like Greystar, Avalon Bay and UDR. And this latest round brings Anyplace’s total funding to $18 million. The company has a presence currently in four major US cities: San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles and San Diego, with ambitious plans to expand further across the nation anticipated in Q4 2023.

Short-term apartment rentals are available for bookings across San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles and San Diego.
