After raising over €1M and distributing the RoomMate Estelle solution to dozens of customers across Europe, managing more than 5,000 apartments, my business partners and I decided to move forward with an acquisition proposal we received.

As a side result, my Co-Founders and I are joining DoveVivo (Joivy) with a managerial role. We'll leverage our expertise to design new tools for unification and streamline processes across the group's diverse business lines and companies throughout Europe.
