Guesty is a leading global property management software provider, specializing in solutions for short-term and vacation rental managers. Its cloud-based platform enables property managers to oversee listings across major booking channels such as Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, while automating and optimizing core hospitality operations. Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with a significant presence in New York and offices worldwide, Guesty serves thousands of customers, ranging from individual hosts to large-scale property management companies.
Guesty was founded in 2013 by twin brothers Amiad and Koby Soto, originally under the name SuperHost. The idea stemmed from their own experiences as Airbnb hosts, which revealed the operational complexities of managing short-term rentals. The company rebranded to Guesty in 2014, transitioning from a hands-on service to a software-driven platform. Guesty is a graduate of Y Combinator and has since evolved into an end-to-end SaaS solution for property management, helping users scale from a handful of units to thousands.
Guesty has been a magnet for venture capital, reflecting strong investor confidence in its market position and growth prospects. In April 2024, Guesty raised $130 million in a Series F round led by KKR, with participation from Apax Funds, Inovia, BDT & MSD Partners, and Sixth Street, bringing its post-money valuation to approximately $900 million. This follows a $170 million Series E round in 2022, which valued the company at $690 million. Guesty’s total funding now exceeds $400 million, positioning it among the best-capitalized firms in the property management technology sector.
