Customers can choose a design from it’s collection or collaborate with an architect for a custom design project. Haaven then generates an instant quote and connects the customer with the appropriate builders. From there, Haaven oversees the entire process, ensuring support for the customer and accountability for the construction companies.

Haaven offers a simple, user-friendly experience while focusing on sustainability and efficiency. Each home is designed to be carbon neutral and completed in just 15 weeks. By using wood in prefabrication, they reduce carbon emissions and increase productivity.

Dédé, CEO and Founder said, "Addressing the housing crisis needs rapid construction. Yet, energy-efficient design and extreme durability remain core to our philosophy, ensuring homes are well insulated and preserved for future generations."

Joining Speedinvest in this funding round were Dutch VC firm Golden Egg Check and notable angel investors, including Quintin Schevernels (ex-CEO of Funda), Mike de Boer (ex-CFO of Knab), Eric Klaassen (co-founder of Crisp), Erik Nieuwenhuis (Founder of 12Build) Andre Grimbergen (co-founder of Albelli; founder of WONDR), and Paolo Moresco (Italian family office).

Jeroen Arts, Partner at Speedinvest said, "We are thrilled to support Haaven in their mission to address the critical housing shortage in Europe, where the market is in dire need of new and more sustainable homes. Traditional home-building is fraught with challenges, but Haaven’s innovative platform simplifies it by directly connecting homeowners with architects and builders. We believe in this young, dynamic team and their potential to revolutionise the prefab housing industry."

Haaven will use the funds from the round to hire tech, product, sales, and technical support staff as it scales up in its initial markets. The company plans to continuously enhance customer experience and centralise all construction parties onto one platform.
