Housr secures £7.5m Series A from investors including Ashta Capital and Juniper Equity to modernise global student housing

Housr, the technology company transforming student living, announced it has secured £7.5 million in Series A funding to fuel product innovation and international expansion. The round included strategic participation from Ashta Capital and Juniper Equity, two Texas-based private investment firms that back growth-oriented companies with strong operating foundations.

The new partnership highlights a shared vision to modernise the global student housing experience through technology, data-driven insight, and operational excellence. With the fresh funding, Housr plans to accelerate its rollout across key university cities in both the UK and US, expanding its presence in markets where demand for modern, digital-first rental solutions continues to surge.

Housr’s proprietary platform acts as a unified operating system for students and landlords, streamlining everything from finding and managing accommodation to handling payments, maintenance requests, and community engagement. The company’s mission is to place the home at the centre of the student experience, empowering users to manage all aspects of student life from a single app.

The funding follows a sustained period of hyper-growth for the company, which achieved 186% year-on-year revenue growth as its model gained traction with both students and property partners. Housr’s leadership believes this new capital marks a turning point for the company, unlocking its next phase of expansion and product innovation.

The newly secured capital will be deployed across three core strategic pillars: product innovation, talent acquisition, and market expansion with a focus on developing new features, scaling its engineering and operations teams, and deepening penetration across key university ecosystems.

This financing is a powerful validation of our teamʼs vision and the measurable impact weʼre having on the student rental industry. The market is rapidly shifting towards demand for an all-in-one, student OS, with the home at the heart of everything, and our platform is uniquely positioned to capitalise on that demand. Ashta Capital’s strategic involvement underscores the strength of our mission and positions us to accelerate growth across key university markets across the US, along with the rollout of new products that will genuinely change the way students rent but also interact with their finances and everything that is not their degree, whilst at university. We aim to service 1,000,000 students across the UK and US within the next 12 months. Our mission is to change student rental, forever.

Harry Panter, Co-founder & CEO

The university market is massive, especially here in the US, but really globally, because that's where Housr has the opportunity to go. There's around 4,000 universities in the US, so just think about that. That population that Housr can go to and have engaging with the app, and just in Texas alone, there's probably somewhere between 750,000 to a million students. There's just a massive market here that you only need to capture a very, very small percentage for it to grow and be incredibly valuable.

Harry has a rare ability to clearly communicate his vision and inspire others to join him in achieving it. That clarity of purpose and enthusiasm is what stood out to me from the very beginning. I was immediately struck by his energy and passion for what he was building.
