What this module covers

Raising capital for coliving and the numbers investors look for.

Raising capital for coliving means speaking the investor's language: cash flow, risk, and downside. The appetite is real and growing. Grand View Research (2025) sizes the global coliving market at roughly 7.8 billion dollars in 2024, rising toward 16.1 billion by 2030, a compound growth rate near 13.5 percent, while the Savills European Investor Survey (2025) found 38 percent of institutions already investing in the sector and 51 percent planning to within three years, with an intended 2.6 billion euros of deployment over that window. That money is looking for operators who can turn a building into a defensible, institution-grade cash flow. This module teaches how coliving is valued, the model investors want to see, how to match debt, equity, and joint-venture capital to your stage, how to assemble a deck and data room, and how to run a raise that survives diligence and closes.

Learning outcomes

• ✓Understand what coliving investors actually underwrite
• ✓Build a model and a deck that survive diligence
