Arbio, an AI-powered property manager for vacation rentals, led by Paul Bäumler, Constantin Schröder, Lukas Gittinger, Marco Dingler, Elodie Baro, and Sebastian Bentele, has secured $36 million Series A funding round led by Eurazeo, bringing the company's total funding to over $45 million. London-based AI-focused VC OpenOcean and previous investors Atlantic Labs and leading angels Philipp Freise and Justin Reizes (KKR), Johannes Reck and Tao Tao (GetYourGuide), and Din Bisevac (Buena), amongst others, also participated.


The funding will accelerate Arbio’s acquisition strategy, strengthen its AI capabilities, and support expansion into European markets where vacation rental management is fragmented and property owners remain underserved.


Founded by Constantin Schröder and Paul Bäumler, Arbio addresses the operational challenges of holiday homeowners and management companies across Europe, a $20 billion market. With over 6.5 million alternative accommodation properties, management remains outdated, leaving owners with unpredictable returns and inefficiencies, and guests with inconsistent experiences.


Arbio’s AI-native operating system acts as a full-stack property manager, automating distribution, accounting, operations, guest communications, and dynamic pricing, boosting revenue, reducing costs, and ensuring high-quality stays. The company now manages 1,000+ units across DACH, has achieved 10x revenue growth in two years, and completed 30+ strategic acquisitions through its dedicated M&A team.


Arbio is among the first European companies to use AI as the backbone of service delivery rather than just a tool. Its platform coordinates complex interactions between homeowners, guests, and service providers, while providing intelligent decision support and real-time dynamic pricing optimization. By reducing operational burdens for owners and enabling personalized guest experiences at scale, Arbio is redefining property management.


With Series A funding, the company plans rapid expansion across Europe, targeting hundreds of thousands of property owners. Its technology-driven approach allows it to scale operations efficiently while maintaining a lean model.
