VAUNT is a Romanian B2B SaaS proptech startup revolutionizing residential real estate sales with an innovative platform that streamlines sales and marketing processes. Its user-friendly modules enable businesses to manage housing portfolios, track customer interactions, run marketing campaigns, showcase properties in 2D, handle financials, and access real-time analytics. Committed to customer success, VAUNT offers tutorials, integrates user feedback, and continuously expands its features. As a compound startup, it aims to build interconnected tools as the core infrastructure for residential sales.

VAUNT’s 2024 in Numbers

In 2024, VAUNT announced significant growth:

• 73 clients
• Over 100 projects listed in 2024
• EUR 1B+ worth of listed projects
• EUR 488M of recorded transactions
• Facilitating 7% of real estate deals in Romania
• 74% overall YoY growth

In November, VAUNT announced that Joe (Shijo) Mathew, co-founder and CTO of OpenReel, joined the company’s Board as its new strategic advisor. Mr Mathew’s extensive expertise in scaling companies, building high-performance teams, and driving revenue growth is set to help the company solidify its position on the American market.

‘Razvan and Irina for a while now, and their ability to overcome challenges and scale VAUNT on their own has always impressed me. They’ve built something truly remarkable, and with VAUNT Market, they’re set to transform the real estate investment landscape. This is going to be a game-changer, and I’m excited to be part of their journey as they expand into the US market,’ Mr Mathew comments.

US Expansion in Progress and Products in Development

‘We built VAUNT on a solid foundation—deeply understanding the market’s needs and creating a solution that gains traction fast. That same approach is driving VAUNT Market’s expansion in the US. Spending several months on the ground in 2024 gave us valuable insights into our audience, the true value we bring, and how to position ourselves for success. On top of that, we’ve been building a strong network and community that will be key to launching and scaling. We’re happy with our progress so far and are gearing up to accelerate our US expansion,’ VAUNT’s co-founder and CEO Irina Constantin adds.

According to her, VAUNT Market is moving full speed ahead as the team has been refining the platform to ensure it delivers real value to investors and developers from day one. At the same time, the company is gearing up to relaunch the VAUNT Developer app with new features designed to streamline sales and marketing even further. The focus is on building a seamless, high-impact experience, and we’re excited to bring both to market soon.

The team has also introduced new features like the Client Portal, providing buyers with free, real-time market value data. Additionally, AI-powered tools simplify tasks such as generating apartment descriptions and signing contracts. The VAUNT Engage module further enhances marketing by enabling email and SMS campaigns directly from the platform.

‘We use VAUNT for a series of projects and I can say that it makes our work way easier. The sales team uses the app the most and that’s how they manage to save time to close deals,’ HILS’ business manager Octavian Burlan tells ITKeyMedia.

2025 in Prospect: Further Expansion and Investors

With the proven value of VAUNT’s sales and marketing platform for real estate developers at home, the team is confident that residential developers across Europe can benefit just as much. A strong customer portfolio and momentum enable the platform to collaborate with developers of all sizes across Europe as it continues to scale. VAUNT is looking into their home country’s neighbouring geographies, as well as Spain, Portugal, and Poland. This year promises a major milestone for VAUNT as the company furthers its geographic expansion.

‘The time is perfect for VAUNT to expand beyond the country’s borders. 2024 has once again validated the value of our solution, which helps us create an ambitious roadmap for 2025: we want to scale the developer sales solution at a European level, attract new colleagues and build a truly international remote team, and raise a funding round to accelerate the go-to-market process for VAUNT Market targeting the US and European markets. Beyond capital, we value partners who can help us scale intelligently and accelerate our impact in the market,’ Ms Constantin states.

2025 must indeed mark a pivotal moment for VAUNT as the startup raises its first investment round, targeting investors in both the US and Europe. Having operated as a bootstrapped startup until now, this is a strategic step forward. The team is looking forward to investors who bring in-depth expertise in real estate—whether in development, investment, or AI—and align with VAUNT’s vision.
