Fifth Wall led a $80m funding round in Belong.

Fifth Wall, a venture capital firm, led a $80m funding round in Belong, a startup that aims to address both these issues while giving renters a way to save toward home ownership, with participation from Battery Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz and GGV Capital. “We believe Belong’s people-first model raises the bar for the future state of home rentals and ownership, a key differentiator. These groups have been traditionally underserved by offline property managers who do not use technology or a tech-first approach to solving problems,” Wenhold told TechCrunch. “With in-house operations and service professionals in each market in which they operate, Belong brings a full-stack approach to property management,” Dan Wenhold, Fifth Wall Partner.
