Virtuo, a Calgary-based homeownership concierge platform that connects homeowners to vendors and services associated with relocation, has secured C$3.5 million in a seed funding round, with lead investors ATB Private Equity and TELUS Ventures.
According to the company, the new funding will finance Virtuo’s expansion across Canada and into the U.S. With this latest round, Virtuo’s total funds raised is now over C$7 million.
“Virtuo organizes the home ecosystem with the homeowner at the center,” said Casey Kachur, co-founder and CEO of Virtuo, which operates in over a dozen North American cities, including Toronto. “We created it for homeowners, but we deliver our service with partners — great builders, realtors, lenders and other companies — that also want to make the homeownership experience amazing, as it should be. This investment enables us to do just that, and because we’re capital efficient, we can make it go a long way to continue improving how we provide our first-class customer experience and empower homeowners through the moving process.”
