Proptech startup Flent raises Rs 6.5 Cr in pre-seed round

Proptech startup Flent has raised Rs 6.5 crore in its pre-seed round led by WEH Ventures, with participation from US-based 2 AM Ventures, Pareto Holdings, and a group of angel investors, including Sanchan S Saxena (ex-GM, Airbnb), Aneesh Reddy (founder, Capillary Technologies), Arjun Vaidya (founder, Dr. Vaidya’s), and Abhilash N (co-founder, Ivy Homes). 

The proceeds will be used to expand its core team and further develop full stack renting platform, which aims to make renting 10X easier and faster for India’s new-age working professionals.

Founded by Shail Daswani, Mayank Lalwani, and Rishabh Agnihotri, the startup claims to have seen good traction for its flagship product Flent Reserve. Within 15 days of signing up and sharing their preferences, customers can move into a fully furnished, designer turnkey home with zero brokerage, a minimal deposit, and flexible stays ranging from 3 to 11 months. 

Since its inception in October 2023, Flent has launched 120 rooms across Bengaluru, from 1 BHKs to 3 BHKs, all of which have been rented out within 10 days of launch. The company already has a waitlist of over 500 people and has consistently achieved 100% occupancy.

For homeowners, Flent manages the entire process, from property acquisition to furnishing and turning homes into turnkey rentals.
