About Ukio
Ukio's mission is to empower individuals to live where they want, when they want 🌎.
We disrupt the traditional residential real estate market by providing fully furnished and artfully designed apartments for stays starting at one month. We remove all the hassle around finding a rental with no long‑term contracts, moving/buying furniture, security deposits, broker fees, etc., giving choice and flexibility to allow people to live where and when they want. 💥
We are a Barcelona based startup with offices in Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin and Paris, and we are expanding across Europe 🚀. Backed by Europe’s best Venture Capital firms, we raised €27 million in our Series A round in 2022 and recently raised a Series B round to propel our growth throughout Western Europe. 🥇
Our culture
We honor diversity, compassion and honesty. We have a mix of dedicated, collaborative, and results‑driven people and we grant full autonomy to our team. We embrace dynamic environments, building projects from scratch. Our team includes foodies, athletes, adventure seekers and art buffs, and we always have a team event. Are you ready to join us?
