Studio.haus – Pitch Deck
- Company Purpose
We transform small commercial buildings into profitable, design-driven boutique studio hotels — a turnkey short-term rental platform powered by crowdfunding. - Problems
Urban real estate in Brazil is underutilized, with thousands of commercial houses sitting empty in prime locations.
Individual Airbnb investors face complexity, risky investment options, and opaque administrative costs.
Younger professionals often work in large cities while living elsewhere, with few frictionless, high-quality, affordable options that feel like home. - Solutions
Studio.haus converts smaller commercial properties into fully operated studio hotels with consistent design, hotel-level operations, and investor participation through crowdfunding.
Guests experience functional, cozy studio with a high-automated but carefully humanized service.
Investors earn above-market returns through a simple, turnkey model. - Why Now
– Post-pandemic travel is booming while Brazil still lacks quality hotel experiences for business travelers in most areas.
– Regulations increasingly restrict Airbnb in residential buildings/areas, creating risk for investors.
– New crowdfunding laws democratize access to real estate investment.
– Short-term rentals are now a mainstream asset class with massive investor and consumer appeal. - Market Size
Brazil’s short-term rental industry is expanding rapidly, driven by post-pandemic mobility, remote work, and digital platforms. Yet mid-market, design-focused hospitality remains fragmented — dominated either by corporate hotels or informal hosts. Studio.haus sits at the intersection of hospitality, real estate, and fintech, capturing a gap worth billions.
