Divvy Homes, a property-technology startup that buys homes on behalf of renters and helps them become owners, raised fresh funding in a round that roughly quadrupled its valuation to $2 billion.
San Francisco-based Divvy raised $200 million in equity financing co-led by Tiger Global Management and Caffeinated Capital, Chief Executive Officer Adena Hefets said in an interview. Those existing investors and others including Andreessen Horowitz, Singapore’s GIC, GGV Capital and Moore Specialty Credit participated in the round, which pre-empted a capital raise that could have featured new investors, she said.
