Houm, a Chilean home purchase and rental marketplace with operations in Chile, Mexico and Colombia, raised a USD8m round from Y Combinator, Goodwater Ventures, ONEVC and Vast VC, and follow-on from Alaya Capital. Village Capital invested in 2021; Fen Ventures, Magma Partners and Fondo Alerce invested USD1.3m in 2020.
