Blueground

Blueground (operating at theblueground.com) is a global platform for furnished, flexible rentals designed to cater to mid- to long-term stays. Founded by co-founders Alex Chatzieleftheriou and Alexis Maragkos and headquartered in New York City, Blueground disrupts traditional housing solutions by offering move-in-ready apartments with flexible lease terms, eliminating the hassle of short-term rentals or long-term commitments. Under the hood, the platform leverages a curated network of properties worldwide, paired with digital tools like 3D tours and real-time availability tracking to streamline the rental process. This allows professionals, digital nomads, and relocating employees to secure stylish, fully furnished accommodations in prime urban locations for durations ranging from a month to years. Backed by a $180 million Series C funding round led by WestCap, with participation from Geolo Capital and VentureFriends, Blueground has also secured an additional $45 million in Series D funding, solidifying its position as the largest operator in the furnished rental space.
