Just packed our stuff and moved in with Jome 🏡📦 If you’re not in the mood for metaphors, we’ll say it again, loud and clear: Roosh Ventures invests in Jome, a platform that helps people find new construction homes in the US! Together with Geek Ventures , u.ventures, Toloka.vc, Vesna Capital, Network VC, SID Venture Partners, Flyer One Ventures, Forefront Venture Partners, and others, we’ve contributed $9.8M in Series A funding for the company. 📉 There’s a shortage of 4 to 7 million homes in the US. Moreover, most newly built homes aren’t available on major real estate listing platforms. Instead, they are in the builders’ spreadsheets. The mission of Jome (formerly NewHomesMate) is to help people find construction homes. The team makes the path to these houses effortless, enjoyable, and hassle-free. Jome’s AI-powered platform aggregates 90% of the available construction homes in 16 American cities. Since 2020, the company has helped over 100,000 people purchase a construction home. The founders, Dan Hnatkovskyy and Sofia Vyshnevska, started the company in 2018. Before that, they worked on software for Dan’s real estate sales automation project called Brainify. Here’s what Adam Hashchyshyn, Principal at Roosh Ventures, has to say about the deal: “Backed by exceptional unit economics, a massive $59B market opportunity, and a team of proven leaders with deep real estate expertise, Jome has everything it needs to scale rapidly and transform this growing niche. We’re excited to partner with them on this journey.” We couldn’t agree more with Adam — we’re super excited and wish the team at Jome the best of luck! 🥂 🔗 Read more about the company’s Series A funding in the article: https://lnkd.in/dU-FMSaK #RealEstate #RealEstateInnovation #PropTech #HomeBuyingSimplified #TechInRealEstate #Innovation #RooshVentures #Jome #VentureCapital #FutureOfRealEstate

We’re beyond excited to share that we invest in Toothio! 🚀 ⚡️ Toothio is transforming the dental industry, addressing one of its toughest challenges—finding and retaining qualified, reliable staff. With a fresh $5 million funding round, Toothio is poised to make a big impact. The numbers tell the story: nearly 95% of dental offices struggle to keep top-notch hygienists, assistants, and office staff. That’s where Toothio steps in with an incredible platform that connects these offices to a pool of over 30,000 vetted dental professionals. Their smart matching algorithm has achieved an impressive 97% fill rate for open shifts, allowing practices to stay fully staffed and focus on providing top-quality patient care. With this new funding, Toothio is expanding into major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Jose, among others. Their mission aligns perfectly with our commitment to supporting solutions that tackle real-world problems. “We strongly believe the world is shifting toward a gig economy, where people are looking for more flexibility in work hours, location, and other aspects. While this shift offers many advantages, it also brings challenges for businesses adapting to new workforce models. We’re excited to support Toothio as they address these challenges in the dental sector, connecting practices with qualified dental hygienists, assistants, and receptionists in a seamless way,” said Andrew Tymovskyi, Principal at Roosh Ventures. We couldn’t be prouder to support Toothio on this journey and look forward to the positive changes they’re set to bring to the dental industry. Want to know more? Visit toothio.com.

So exited that GlassFlow has just closed their seed round! Although we didn’t participate in this round, we couldn’t be prouder to see them take this huge step forward 👏 Over the past year, GlassFlow has built a smooth, intuitive experience for data teams, enabling pipeline creation through a visual editor or Jupyter Notebook. Their platform scales effortlessly and supports favorite Python libraries, transformation templates, connectors to SQS, Clickhouse, Pub/Sub, and even serverless Python function execution. This fresh funding will help them add even more capabilities, new connectors, cloud deployment options, and more. Big shoutout to the entire GlassFlow team for all their hard work.
