Foxen, a fintech startup focused on real estate, has raised $44m in a Series A funding round led by alternative investment firm Summit Partners to drive growth.

Private investment firm Level Equity also joined the round.

Foxen plans to use the proceeds to ramp up the development of its products and expand staff headcount.

The startup intends to double its size over the coming 12 months. This will create new jobs in Columbus, Ohio, and Santa Barbara, California in the US.

Its solutions are said to mutually benefit property owners, managers, and their residents.

Foxen managing partner and co-founder Jay Harkrider said: “At Foxen, we’ve leveraged years of industry experience to build a technology platform that provides a convenient, affordable rental insurance alternative that simultaneously enables properties to achieve 100% compliance, creating a better experience for both residents and landlords.
