Boom, the Miami-based AI-native property management system for short-term rentals, raised 12.7 million dollars in a Series A announced on 8 October 2025. Avenue Growth Partners led the round, joined by angel backers who had already supported the company privately: Ian Carter, former chief executive of Hilton International; Scott Srebnick, chief executive of Goldman Properties; and Garry Fatakhov, co-founder of Siemplify. Founded in 2023 by chief executive Shahar Goldboim, Boom says its agentic AI already handles roughly 80 percent of guest messages and inquiries for customers in 20 countries across five continents, at a reported net promoter score of 86. The money is earmarked for international expansion, a stronger go-to-market presence, and hiring in engineering, data science and customer success.
