Colonies

Colonies is a Paris-based proptech company founded in 2017 by Alexandre Martin, Amaury Courbon, and François Roth that provides co-living and co-housing solutions for urban renters. The platform offers fully furnished private rooms with private bathrooms, shared kitchens and living spaces, with all charges included in the rent. Colonies operates coliving buildings (shared apartments), coliving residences (larger buildings with more amenities), and private apartments across France (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Marseille, Toulouse, and 10+ other cities), Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp), Spain (Madrid), Switzerland (Basel), and Germany (Berlin). Bookings, lease signing, and tenant management are fully digital. In March 2020, Colonies raised €30M in equity funding alongside a €150M real estate commitment from LBO France. The total funding to date is approximately €221M across four rounds.
