Hausum closes funding round with Diroca and Spicy4tuna

✦ Meridian Analysis

Hausum, the Catalan home‑inspection platform founded in 2023 by architect Aleix del Campo and engineer Omar Lamarca, has closed a financing round of more than €500,000. The capital comes from Diroca – the vehicle backed by investors Dídac Lee, Roque Velasco and Carlos Trenchs – and from the business‑focused podcast Spicy4tuna, which participates under a media‑for‑equity arrangement. Friends and family also contributed, and part of the proceeds were used to repurchase shares held by early backers, thereby increasing the founders’ ownership. By securing both financial and media partners, Hausum can accelerate hiring, enhance its inspection technology and streamline internal processes, positioning itself to serve architects throughout the property‑inspection workflow. Deal professionals will be looking for the undisclosed valuation and the size of the media‑for‑equity component, as well as any syndicate of advisers that may have been involved. Information on the exact allocation of funds—particularly the proportion earmarked for technology upgrades versus talent acquisition—has not been disclosed, and the timeline for any subsequent financing rounds remains unclear.
