RENO, Nev., Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Azibo, the free, one-stop-shop financial services platform for the rental property market, today announced a $19M Series A round led by SVB Capital, with participation from new investors RET Ventures, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, Victory Park Capital, and Gaingels, as well as existing investors Canaan, Khosla Ventures, QED Investors, Camber Creek, Assurant Ventures, and Context Ventures.

The Series A funding will enable Azibo to hire new talent for the company's Tahoe-Reno and San Francisco Bay Area teams, accelerate product innovation, and scale go-to-market efforts. In 2022, the team will continue to focus on building out the platform for the entire rental property ecosystem — enabling landlords to seamlessly interact with renters, property managers, and vendors — as well as developing new features that empower renters to improve their financial health.

Azibo has seen strong traction since its platform launch, acquiring over 10,000 customers, reaching more than $130 million annual run rate in platform transaction volume, and achieving double-digit monthly growth in 2021.

Azibo's offerings include rent collection, bill payments, and expense management; full-service commercial banking; nationally licensed insurance; and lending solutions for mortgages and short-term loans. The company also created the Azibo Marketplace, a trusted network of partners offering best-in-class services for landlords and renters.
