Today, Baselane is announcing $34.4 million in new funding, including a recently closed $20 million Series B led by Thomvest Ventures and a previously unannounced $14.4 million Series A led by Matrix Partners. This funding milestone coincides with the launch of Baselane Smart, a subscription-based suite of AI-powered automation tools designed to give landlords greater control, efficiency, and insight into their rental property finances.
The new financial backbone for investors
Launched in 2022, Baselane has experienced more than 900% growth since its Series A financing and now supports more than 50,000 real estate investors across the United States. Individual investors own more than 25 million rental units — half of the U.S. residential rental supply — and represent a growing class of sophisticated, tech-savvy landlords scaling beyond single properties.
Baselane has emerged as the new financial backbone of the evolving rental economy, replacing a fragmented landscape of non-specialized tools that forced landlords to juggle between spreadsheets, payment apps like Zelle®, accounting software, personal checking accounts, and more. Baselane consolidates and simplifies financial workflows with a powerful, purpose-built platform for real estate investing, integrating everything from banking and bookkeeping to rent collection and tax reporting.
“Real estate investors don’t want to be accountants; they want to focus on building passive income without drowning in manual admin work,” says Mathias Korder, Co-Founder and CEO of Baselane. “We built Baselane to give landlords back time and control. By automating the financial back-office, we’re helping them save 5, 8, even 12 hours a week — while still staying on top of cash flow and helping them manage larger portfolios without adding more work.”
Baselane will use the new round of funding to scale go-to-market efforts and accelerate product innovation, transforming how individual real estate investors operate and make decisions. Starting with the launch of our first subscription-based product, Baselane Smart, introducing AI and automation to streamline tasks like transaction categorization, receipt matching, and proactive fund transfers to cover bills.
Empowered by software that delivers institutional-grade insights traditionally reserved for large-scale investors, individual landlords will gain deeper financial visibility, reduce manual financial busywork, and make faster, more informed property decisions, freeing up time to focus on what matters most.
AI-powered tools to automate banking and bookkeeping
Baselane Smart builds on the success of Baselane Core with these benefits:
- Auto-tag assistant: Baselane’s AI automatically categorizes every transaction the moment it comes in, so you never fall behind on bookkeeping.
- Advanced tagging rules: Set smart rules that tag your transactions based on who you paid, how much, or which account you used.
- Auto-receipt match: Email or upload your receipts, and we’ll take care of the rest — auto-matched, organized, and ready for tax time.
- Smart fund transfers: Prevent overdrafts, missed payments, and maximize your savings with automatic top-ups when your balance gets too low.
- Time back, without sacrificing oversight: Save 5-12+ hours per week on manual financial tasks while gaining deeper visibility into property finances.
Investors save 150+ hours and $5K per year
Baselane started with a simple mission: make it easier for individual real estate investors to thrive. In just three years, we have done just that, saving the average investor more than 150 hours and $5,000 per year through automation, visibility, and built-in financial tools.
“One of the most frustrating, overlooked problems in real estate investing is the financial management, and Baselane is using software and AI to solve this for tens of thousands of customers,” says Don Butler, Managing Director at Thomvest Ventures. “By deeply understanding this niche and building a beautifully integrated product, Baselane has created something that real estate investors can truly depend on and love.”
The Series B round included participation from Matrix Partners, Diagram Ventures, Starwood Capital, Parameter Ventures, Activant Capital, RXR ARDEN Digital Ventures, and Watershed Ventures. Baselane has raised $44.3 million to date.
