Monday, November 12, 2018
(Mingtiandi by Emma Zhou) – US private equity firm Warburg Pincus on Monday announced that it is investing up to $413.5 million into Weave Co-living, and has launched the partnership with a $181 million bet on the sharing economy startup.
The partnership with Weave is the first time that the firm, which manages more than $47 billion in private equity assets worldwide, has invested into an Asia rental accommodation platform outside of mainland China.
The investment by Warburg Pincus will support a plan by Weave, a co-living provider established last year by former APG real estate head Sachin Doshi, to grow its portfolio to over 10,000 bedrooms across major Asian cities over the next five years.
