An AI property-rollup startup, Dwelly, reportedly raised $170 million in a Series B led by General Catalyst.
- The company buys UK letting agencies and rebuilds them with AI.
- It says the approach cuts time-to-let by about 30% and repair times by nearly half.
- The post also describes the longer operating journey: initial skepticism about founder-market fit, then a move to Hull, acquisitions, AI transformation, and stronger EBITDA/NPS.
- The pitch is that Dwelly could become a blueprint for using AI to reinvent everyday services in Europe.
