What Roomberry does

Roomberry is a privately held Russian web-based real estate aggregation platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in Moscow. The company operates a network of city-specific subdomains serving 9 Russian cities — Moscow, Bryansk, Voronezh, Yoshkar-Ola, Kaluga, Kursk, Nizhny Novgorod, Tula, and Ulyanovsk — and aggregates listings of apartments in new construction buildings (новостройки) from major Russian developers including PIK, Etalon Group, Donstroy, FSC, LSR, and MR Group. The platform targets individual apartment buyers and families seeking to research, compare, and select new-build housing, offering developer profiles, pricing, floor plans, infrastructure and transportation data, and a news section covering market updates and legislative changes.

The core product is the apartment selection service (Подбор квартир), which provides filtering by number of rooms, price range, and district, alongside supporting content features such as developer profiles (Застройщики) with project counts and ratings, a mortgage information section (Ипотека) surfacing rates from partner banks including Sberbank (from 6.9%), VTB (from 7.1%), and Gazprombank (from 7.3%), and a real estate news feed (Новости). The technology stack is described as a standard web-based listing platform with no proprietary features, no mobile app, no public API or SDK, and no documented AI/ML capabilities; distribution is entirely organic, relying on SEO through the localized subdomain architecture.

The business is operated by co-founder Valentin Bochkov with a team of 1–10 employees, and received a single disclosed seed round of approximately $37,028 from the Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF) in September 2018. No pricing model, revenue figures, enterprise contracts, or developer-side monetization agreements are publicly disclosed, and the company holds no patents, certifications, or formal partnership announcements. The platform's pricing information reflects apartment listing values (approximately 2.2M to 28.7M rubles) rather than platform service fees, suggesting monetization — if any — is implicit through developer referrals or listings rather than transparent consumer or B2B fees.

Broad incumbents

• Cian: Cian is the leading Russian online real estate marketplace covering new construction, secondary, and rental listings nationwide. It is the dominant scaled competitor to Roomberry in the new-construction apartment search category.
• Yandex.Nedvizhimost (Yandex Real Estate): Yandex's real estate vertical aggregates listings across Russia with deep search and map integration. Comparable to Roomberry as a broad new-construction discovery platform, but vastly larger in scale and traffic.
• Avito Nedvizhimost: Avito is Russia's largest horizontal classifieds platform with a major real estate vertical including new-construction listings. Comparable to Roomberry's buyer-self-service listing model but operated at massive horizontal scale.
• DomClick (Sberbank): Sberbank's real estate platform combines new-construction listings with mortgage origination from Sberbank itself. Directly comparable to Roomberry's listings-plus-mortgage integration, but with the backing of Russia's largest bank.

Direct peers

• Etagi: Etagi is a major Russian real estate agency and listing platform. Notably, Roomberry's 'Подобрать квартиру' CTAs redirect to msk.etagi.com, indicating Etagi is both a direct peer in new-construction discovery and the platform's transaction partner.
• N1.ru: N1.ru is a regional-focused Russian real estate portal with strong new-construction coverage across multiple cities. Comparable to Roomberry in operating a multi-city listings model for Russian new builds.
• Move.ru: Move.ru is a Russian real estate search platform aggregating listings from developers and agencies. Comparable to Roomberry as a buyer-facing new-construction listing and comparison service.

Emerging players

• EMLS (Emls.ru): EMLS is a Russian real estate database and analytics platform serving both consumers and professionals. Comparable to Roomberry in the new-construction data aggregation space but oriented more toward market analytics.
