Reno, a leading tech-enabled home renovation platform in the region, has raised $4 million through a mix of equity and debt. This funding will help the company move closer to its goal of creating the region’s first complete end-to-end system for managing home renovations.
The investment will support the launch of Reno’s new app in early 2026, which will offer real-time AI design tools, instant budget estimates, and a smart materials engine to give customers clear information from the very start of their renovation. The round was backed by 500 Sanabil, Hub71, Plus VC, Zero 100 VC, FlyerOne Ventures, Sandstorm VC, AngelSpark, and Swiss Founders Fund.
This investment will help Reno grow across the UAE and the wider GCC region. It strengthens the company’s mission to make the entire renovation process simple, clear and hassle-free from beginning to end.
Unlike traditional renovation services, Reno brings everything into one platform — design, project management, contractor supervision, and even financing options such as its popular Renovate Now, Pay Later plan. This creates a more organised, transparent, and fully guided renovation experience.
By using AI-powered workflows and clear oversight, Reno ensures that all tasks and deliverables follow a milestone-based system. This gives homeowners and property investors better control, visibility and confidence throughout their renovation journey.
For homeowner Camillo Schobesberger — a busy professional with two young kids — Reno’s platform made a potentially stressful renovation simple and well-organised. What could have disrupted his family’s routine became a smooth manageable experience.
With daily progress updates, clear budget tracking, and payments tied to milestones, Camillo could follow every step remotely and ensure the project stayed on time. Reno’s structured workflow also reduced common delays and helped avoid surprise costs.
“Reno made our renovation smooth and kept our daily life running without major disruption. We didn’t need temporary storage or rental housing, and the upgrades increased my property’s value by nearly 40%. What is usually the most stressful investment after buying a home became completely manageable,” Camillo shared.
“Our goal is to make home renovations as seamless and transparent as possible, ” said Marc Michel, Co-founder and CEO of Reno. Whether it’s busy families looking to upgrade their homes or investors seeking to enhance property value, Reno provides the tools and oversight to deliver projects efficiently and stress-free.”
With the new $4 million investment, Reno aims to grow across the GCC, strengthen its technology, and keep improving the overall renovation experience for customers.
By using smart technology and data-driven workflows, Reno is changing the way renovations are handled — helping clients save time, avoid stress, and get more value from their properties.
