EDITOR'S COMMENT
• The seemingly unstoppable flow of investment rounds and M&A activity in the space continues apace, and this week, interestingly, it is companies that are slightly away from the mainstream, but very much indicative of sector trends, who have been the beneficiaries.
We have seen funding rounds completed by tiny house specialist Raus and outdoor stays specialist Campspace, which has not only secured €3 million to fund its expansion, but has also acquired its German competitor Pop-Up Camps.
Elsewhere it is a service provider that has secured the biggest chunk of cash, with San Francisco-based luggage storage startup Bounce closing a $12 million Series A funding round. Founded in 2018, Bounce operates in more than 7000 locations worldwide, including North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania, and will be one to watch in the future.
