Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Constantin Schröder, Co-founder at Arbio: How Arbio built an AI-enabled rollup machine for holiday rentals
Q: How has investor sentiment been since you started, especially with AI rollups?
The industry has become hotter; initial rounds were challenging, but belief has grown as the travel market recovered post-COVID and AI-enabled portfolios show clear potential for growth and scale.
Constantin Schröder, Co-founder at Arbio: How Arbio built an AI-enabled rollup machine for holiday rentals
Q: What technologies are you applying to this industry that make it more efficient?
We use pricing algorithms, revenue management agents, event data, and autonomous scheduling to distribute properties, manage guests, and orchestrate cleaning and maintenance, all coordinated through AI to improve efficiency and service.
Constantin Schröder, Co-founder at Arbio: How Arbio built an AI-enabled rollup machine for holiday rentals
Q: What is it that you've built?
Arbio is an AI-first property manager for holiday homes that scales by acquiring portfolios from mid-sized managers and applying pricing, guest management, and on-ground orchestration through automation to deliver better owner and guest outcomes.
Jonathan Sanders, CEO at Light: Light replaces fragmented finance tools with one platform
Q: So Jonathan, thank you for joining me today. How did the round come about and what gave investors conviction to back you?
The conviction came from a strong, early thesis that finance tech was fragmented and that a unified, AI-enabled platform could unlock significant value, paired with evidence from traction and relationships built over years with investors like Balderton.
Entrepreneurs First raised $200M: Jonny Clifford, Partner at Entrepreneurs First
Q: Amazer, so can you give a quick explanation into the EF model?
EF invests in people before they have a team or an idea, typically in cohorts, with the aim of helping them discover their life's work and accelerate to launching startups; they use residency and other programs to scale and support founders, including placing them in the US to gain market access and speed.
