Lystio has secured €500,000 in funding from international investors based in Austria and Silicon Valley. Investors include early employees of leading technology companies as well as experienced investors from the real estate and insurance sectors.
With Lystio, we are building an AI-native real estate portal for apartments, houses, new developments, and commercial properties. Our goal is to fundamentally improve how real estate is discovered, presented, and transacted, and to create a modern platform for the European market.
Focus on product development, team growth, and expansion
The fresh capital will be used to further expand the platform, accelerate the development of core features—particularly in artificial intelligence—and grow the team while scaling marketing efforts.
At the same time, we are strengthening our market position in Austria and laying the foundation for expansion into additional European markets.
Strong organic growth and increasing usage
Lystio has seen strong demand early on. Within six months, the company generated more than 30 million video views on social media and built a community of over 30,000 followers.
This reach has translated into growing platform usage. Today, more than 30,000 people use Lystio every month to discover properties and submit inquiries.
Rapid growth in property listings
As demand has increased, the number of listings on Lystio has grown significantly. Since launch in March 2025, active listings have increased from around 4,000 to more than 45,000.
The platform now includes rental apartments, properties for sale, houses, new developments, office spaces, commercial properties, land, and parking spaces.
This growth is driven by direct partnerships with real estate agents, developers, companies, and private providers. All listings are actively published on the platform, creating an independent and continuously growing inventory..
Building an AI-native real estate portal
The European real estate portal market is one of the largest digital marketplaces, with billions in revenue and strong network effects. At the same time, existing structures leave room for new, technology-driven platforms.
Artificial intelligence is a core component of Lystio. It is used to improve the relevance of search results, automatically structure listings, and make properties easier and faster to discover. AI also accelerates internal processes and enables faster product development.
Our product strategy is based on a free core offering to maximize supply, complemented by optional premium features for providers. This approach enables rapid marketplace scaling and creates long-term value for partners and users.
Entering the next phase of growth
With this funding, Lystio is entering its next phase of growth. The focus is on continued product development, team expansion, and further scaling of the platform.
Our long-term vision is to build a new generation of real estate platforms in Europe—AI-native, faster, and designed around the needs of users and providers.
