Netherlands-based Microwoning.com, a startup creating solutions for the housing shortage, announced that it has raised €2.5M in a Seed round of funding to further expand the number of microwoningen (micro homes) on private land in the country.
The startup aims to fight the housing crisis by providing an out-of-the-box solution – building in spaces where it used to be impossible.
The investment came from Jongerius Invest, along with a private investor. Sjoerd Jongerius of Jongerius Invest says, “Placing micro homes on private property is a great way to help more people find a place to live. Currently, we need to come up with creative solutions and we are happy to contribute.”
Building new homes on leftover private land
Founded in 2022 by Matthijs Rolleman, Microwoning.com builds modern homes ranging in size from 20m2 to 40m2, on unused plots of private property where it wasn’t previously possible.
