What StaysCo (formerly DèsVu Stays) does

StaysCo operates a PropTech housing marketplace headquartered in Luxembourg City, structured as a Luxembourg société à responsabilité limitée under the legal entity DèsVu S.à r.l. (RCS B274274). The platform uses an AI-assisted Intake Wizard to match two customer segments with housing: individual expats and relocating professionals seeking temporary or long-term homes, and corporate HR and mobility teams managing employee relocations. Service lines span Temporary Housing (furnished, move-in-ready stays from €109 per night, no deposits, no agency fees), Long-term Rentals (matchmaking into traditional leases with document and deposit support), Corporate Housing (centralised monthly invoicing, PO support, and policy alignment), and Relocation Services (end-to-end onboarding including paperwork and registration). Underlying the offering is the MyStaysCo Dashboard, a two-stage intake form that captures identity, financial, and housing preference data, runs AI profiling on the inputs, and pushes curated "AI-Suggested Options" against a live inventory drawn from a partner network of property owners, managers, and agencies. A direct integration with Apimo, a European real estate management platform, syncs agency listings, availability, and pricing into StaysCo without manual duplication, anchoring both supply-side scale and the company's expansion into Portugal.

Revenue is generated through marketplace commissions on confirmed temporary bookings, referral fees on long-term connections handed off to traditional real estate agencies, and a managed-service layer for corporate accounts. The go-to-market combines a self-serve PLG funnel (the Intake Wizard captures dates, budget, and must-haves and returns curated options typically within 24 hours) with a consultative inside-sales motion for enterprise clients (centralised invoicing, dedicated dashboard, policy alignment). Distribution is digital-first and centred on Luxembourg, with Portugal cited as an active expansion market via the Apimo integration. The company is early-stage, privately held, headquartered at the Luxembourg City Incubator, and lists four named enterprise clients (ArcelorMittal, Tenaris, Intesa Sanpaolo, Eurizon Asset Management) alongside 300+ corporate relocations assisted and 1,000+ properties on platform.

Revenue model

1. Temporary Housing Commissions / Booking Fees: StaysCo acts as an intermediary between tenants and property providers for short- and mid-term stays. Revenue is generated via commissions or transaction fees on confirmed temporary bookings. Listings start from €109 per night with no deposits or agency fees charged to tenants — fees are collected from the property side of the marketplace.
2. Long-Term Connection Referral Fees: For long-term rentals, StaysCo transfers the user's full profile and documents to a matched traditional real estate agency that finalises the lease. Revenue likely captured as a referral or introduction fee from the receiving agency.
3. Corporate Housing Managed Service: For HR and mobility teams, StaysCo provides centralised monthly invoicing, PO support, policy alignment, and a dedicated dashboard. This operates as a managed service layer with predictable, recurring engagement for enterprise accounts.
4. Property Listing & Partner Onboarding: Property owners, managers, and agencies submit inventory through the 'List your properties' page and the Apimo integration. StaysCo monetises this supply-side network by distributing listings to its tenant demand.

Core offering

StaysCo operates an AI-assisted housing marketplace in Luxembourg that matches individuals, expats, and corporate clients to furnished temporary and long-term rentals through an Intake Wizard and MyStaysCo Dashboard. Its four core service lines are Temporary Housing (furnished, move-in-ready apartments from €109 per night with no deposits and no agency fees), Long-term Rentals (matchmaking into traditional leases with document and deposit support), Corporate Housing (centralised invoicing and policy-aligned housing for HR and mobility teams), and Relocation Services (end-to-end onboarding including paperwork, registration, and multilingual support). Revenue is generated via commissions on bookings, referral fees on long-term connections, and managed-service fees from corporate clients.

Product overview

StaysCo operates a single housing platform (the StaysCo website plus the MyStaysCo dashboard) that wraps a 'No Scroll' AI-assisted Intake Wizard around four core service lines: Temporary Housing (furnished, move-in-ready stays from €109/night, no deposits, no agency fees), Long-term Rentals (matchmaking into traditional leases with document and deposit support), Corporate Housing (HR/mobility workflows with centralised invoicing and policy alignment), and Relocation Services (end-to-end onboarding including paperwork, registration, and multilingual support via trusted partners). The Intake Wizard feeds a matching algorithm that pushes curated options to the MyStaysCo Dashboard, while the List Your Property programme (boosted by a direct Apimo integration) supplies the underlying furnished inventory. Under the hood, the platform applies AI profiling and curated matching against a structured user profile and a real-time property inventory, with human-in-the-loop approval for all bookings and long-term connections.

Direct peers

• Nestpick: Furnished rental marketplace targeting expats, students, and corporate relocations with monthly-stay focus — directly comparable to StaysCo's temporary housing marketplace and expat demand base.
• Spotahome: Online marketplace for mid- and long-term furnished rentals across Europe with verified listings and remote viewings — comparable to StaysCo's curated matching of furnished inventory for relocating professionals.
• HousingAnywhere: European rental marketplace focused on international students and young professionals seeking mid-term housing, with verified listings and a managed booking flow — closely comparable to StaysCo's expat/relocation matchmaking model across European cities.
• AltoVita: B2B SaaS-enabled marketplace connecting corporate mobility teams with serviced apartments and corporate housing inventory worldwide — directly comparable to StaysCo's corporate housing distribution model and HR dashboard.
• Blueground: Global operator of fully furnished, serviced apartments for long-term stays (30+ days) targeting corporate clients and relocating professionals — directly comparable to StaysCo's temporary and corporate housing offering, with similar no-deposit, move-in-ready model.

Others

• HomeToGo: European vacation-rental meta-search marketplace; broader and consumer-focused but thematically adjacent as a European online housing aggregator competing for the same expat/travel demand StaysCo targets.
• ReloQuest: Corporate housing software platform used by relocation management companies to manage temporary housing programmes — adjacent infrastructure competitor to StaysCo's MyStaysCo corporate dashboard.

Broad incumbents

• Oakwood: Established global serviced-apartment brand serving corporate clients with standardised furnished apartments — comparable supply-side offering to StaysCo's temporary housing, but at multinational enterprise scale.
• Sonder (now part of Marriott): Large-scale operator of serviced apartments and boutique short-term rentals with a tech-enabled booking platform — overlaps with StaysCo's temporary housing supply but at much larger scale and global footprint.
• Airbnb: Global short-term rental marketplace capturing significant share of temporary and corporate housing demand; competes with StaysCo for nightly/mid-term stays, but lacks StaysCo's curated matching, multilingual relocation support, and corporate invoicing layer.
