The round follows a $10 million seed round that closed in September 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Series A funding was led by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinesg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpine Software Group<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">    (ASG), a portfolio company of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpineinvestors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpine investors<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which buys and builds vertical SaaS companies.  DoorLoop has expanded to more than 50 employees in the past year and claims 400 percent revenue growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DoorLoop Co-Founders, CEO <\/span>Ori Tammuz<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and marketing director <\/span>David Bitton<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, are no stranger to ASG.  They co-founded <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicepanther.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Practice Panther<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a lawyer management software company, which ASG acquired in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;DoorLoop has a proven team and playbook,&#8221; said the ASG CEO <\/span>Steve Reardon<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.  \u201cWe have worked with David and Ori for years and are delighted to continue to be part of their story.  We see a great future in the proptech SaaS industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The latest funding will be used in development, marketing and recruiting, Bitton said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;A big part of it is growing the team, quadrupling the development team, doubling the sales and customer service teams, growing all these key positions that are needed,&#8221; said Bitton, whose company which claims it can automatically collect rent, grow landlords&#8217; business and make businesses more efficient.  &#8220;We always want to provide world-class support. No competitor offers live chat. Right now we can offer a kind of live chat. [Customers] get answers in less than four minutes.  We want to cut it down and make it less than a minute.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Some of the DoorLoop interfaces. <span class=\"media-credit\">Image;  walk through<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another use of the funds will be to increase the company&#8217;s &#8220;brain awareness,&#8221; Bitton said.  &#8220;That&#8217;s the marketing piece: continuing to expand the market segments we&#8217;re targeting and investing more in marketing and advertising.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Miami-based DoorLoop&#8217;s ability to grow rapidly since its founding in 2019 is due to a relentless emphasis on customer service and considerable advertising spending to attract small and medium-sized landlords to the platform, he added Bitton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;We invested very early in pay-per-click advertising with our seed money, including Google ads,&#8221; he said.  \u201cIt was the only way to get your word out without having any SEO [search engine optimization].  So we had to pay a lot of money to raise awareness.  Then, over the last year and a half, we&#8217;ve published over 1,000 pieces of content on our website: resources, forums, downloads, templates, blogs.  We want property owners and managers to come to DoorLoop for all their resources.  Over 200,000 people visit our blog every month now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, owner training helps set DoorLoop apart from competitors, Bitton said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNew owners love us because we take the time to give them unlimited free support,\u201d he said.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;No competitor offers this. We also train them in property management, like being a first-time homeowner. We give them free, unlimited accounting advice. No one else does it for them, which is why our reviews are so high online&#8221; .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DoorLoop has &#8220;tens of thousands of property owners and managers in more than 100 countries, mostly in the United States and Canada,&#8221; Bitton said.  While initially focused on residential properties, DoorLoop is expanding into the commercial market, including student housing, HOA communities and mobile homes, Bitton said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For now, DoorLoop is forgoing profitability to reinvest in its business, Bitton said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;If customers are happy, they&#8217;ll stay with us,&#8221; he said.  &#8220;Nobody bought anything to invest in real estate every month. A lot of times they&#8217;ll hold it for five or 10 years, maybe 50 years. After two years we&#8217;ll start making our money back. If they&#8217;re with us for five or 10 years, we&#8217;re happy and they are happy&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DoorLoop is priced for small landlords at $49 per month for properties of one to 20 units, increasing with the number of units on the platform, Bitton said.  &#8220;We want it to be a very low barrier to entry to get started. As you grow, we&#8217;ll grow together alongside you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Philip Russo can be reached at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">prusso@commercialobserver.com<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/commercialobserver.com\/2022\/09\/doorloop-rental-property-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of the DoorLoop Image; walk through [ad_2] Source link<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seo-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1953"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1955,"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1953\/revisions\/1955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afreeurl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
