Litehaus, a startup founded by Thibault and Simi Launay, has raised €1.46 million in a pre-seed funding round to enhance its platform designed to streamline and improve the home-building process. The company aims to make home building as straightforward as buying a home by connecting landowners and developers with construction professionals such as architects and contractors. The platform promises to deliver projects 30% cheaper, 40% faster, and 60% more sustainably than traditional methods. The funding round was co-led by Cornerstone VC and Explorer Fund, with participation from Claster Group and angel investor Pascal Levy. Litehaus plans to use the funds to expand its team and further its growth in Europe and the U.S., addressing the housing crisis by promoting affordable housing solutions.
