We are one of the most promising startups of 2026 with headquarters in Spain. We were founded in Barcelona, and since then, we've expanded to include offices in Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin, Paris and Milan. This is only the beginning as we've got our sights set on spreading to the rest of Europe and later to include other continents as well 🚀.
Ukio's mission is to empower individuals to live where they want, when they want 🌎. We do this by disrupting the traditional residential real estate market, providing fully furnished and artfully designed apartments for stays starting at one month. We remove all the hassle around finding a rental with no long-term contracts, security deposits, broker fees, moving/buying furniture, etc., giving choice and flexibility to allow people to plant their roots anywhere 💥.
Backed by Europe's best Venture Capital firms, this year will be vital in our growth as we look to further build out our team, further establish ourselves in our current markets, and expand our reach into multiple new markets 🔥. We are currently ranked in the top 10 startups in Spain by Linkedin, and we have successfully raised a Series A investment round of €27 million that will help propel our growth throughout Western Europe and bring us closer to reaching our goals🥇.
We honor diversity, compassion, and honesty above all else in our team. We’ve already got a great mix of dedicated, collaborative, and results-driven people and are looking for more like minded folks to join our team. In true startup fashion, we always embrace the unknown and grant full autonomy to our team members to act as the owners of their projects and tasks. We are creators who embrace dynamic environments and take on and build up projects from scratch.
Our team is composed of everyone from foodies to athletes, adventure seekers to art buffs. We know fun, and we always have a team event on our calendars, so are you ready to join us?

What We Do
Ukio’s mission is to empower individuals to live where they want, when they want. Since our founding in 2020, we’ve successfully turned the traditional real estate market upside down by providing fully furnished and artfully designed apartments for stays starting at one month. Our guests love that renting an apartment with Ukio is as easy as it looks. We take out the hassle surrounding finding a rental with no long-term contracts, security deposits, or broker fees, and we provide all furniture, making every apartment ready to use from the minute you walk in the front door. Ultimately, we give the choice and flexibility to allow people to live where they want, when they want, as simple as making a reservation on our website, and that’s the power of Ukio. Even though Ukio is a Barcelona based startup, our reach is not limited to within our headquarter city. We also have offices in Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin and Paris, with more exciting places on the way. One day, you’ll be seeing Ukio apartments across Europe and even the world, but for now, we’ve got big plans to strengthen our relations in our existing cities and spread our reach across Western Europe. Backed by Europe’s best Venture Capital firms, we’ve successfully raised €27M ($28M) in Series A funding which will help propel our growth in the coming year. We’re looking to further build out our teams and expand into new markets as we reach a critical phase in our growth plan, so can we count on you to be a part of the ride?
