Funnel's platform is architected fundamentally differently from other multifamily solutions as the renter — not the property — is the source of truth, creating clear visibility and insights across the entire renter journey and unlocking shared services and role specialization for teams. This allows operators to abandon the antiquated 1:100 leasing operating model while relieving teams, reducing costs, creating better margins, and delighting renters.

Tyler Christiansen CEO of Funnel said "Funnel is uniquely positioned to combat many of today's worsening problems: increasing fixed expenses, lower renewals, talent shortages, and skyrocketing consumer expectations. This new financing ensures our current clients and future partners can rely on the industry's only independent CRM with a steadfast commitment to innovation."

John Helm Founder & Partner at RET Ventures said "We traditionally invest in themes backing technologies that can solve acute challenges for real estate operators & Funnel is our flagship platform in self-leasing & one of our firm's largest investments to date." He added "With their completed platform owners & operators no longer need to use antiquated software to manage their renter journeys & can now graduate to a modern platform architected around how owners teams & renters behave today."
