BMH BRÄUTIGAM advises Raus on 7-digit Series Seed financing round

BMH BRÄUTIGAM has advised the hospitality startup Raus, founded a few months ago, on their seed financing round with Speedinvest as lead investor.

Raus is a newly founded company that creates contemporary getaways with smart, sustainable cabins near major cities. So people can take a break in nature without the hassle (and environmental impact) of long-haul travel. Working with a team of architects, hospitality experts, engineers and designers, Raus will launch its first generation of "cabins" in Germany later this year. Designed to offer a break from the nine-to-five grind, the minimalist yet comfortable getaways and a fully digitized guest experience allows one to experience stress-free time outside of the city. The young company will use the fresh capital for scaling, product development and building a digital guest journey. The seed round was led by European early-stage investor Speedinvest, with participation of Tourlane founders Julian Stiefel and Julian Weselek, former Airbnb Managing Director (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Zazume Co-Founder Jeroen Merchiers, and BCG Digital Ventures Managing Director & Partner Urs Rahne among others. Speedinvest is one of the most active early-stage investors in Europe with €450 million AUM and 40 investors in Berlin, London, Munich, Paris, Vienna and San Francisco.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Background: The team of BMH BRÄUTIGAM advised Raus for the first time.
