Bechester — Seed · approximately €1.5M

Bechester, a marketplace and end-to-end furnishing service for homes, offices and co-livings that began as furniture-rental brand Rentchester, extended its 2021 seed round with roughly €1.5M in additional funding to finance its international expansion. No lead was named; existing backer Faraday Venture Partners took part alongside a London-based network of founders and Spanish angels, after the company opened Paris as its first European hub.
