Documented cause
LaHaus raised $35M from Tiger Global and other top funds to build a tech-first residential real-estate marketplace across Colombia, Mexico, and Chile. Rising interest rates in 2022 crushed transaction volumes across all three markets simultaneously. Multiple rounds of mass layoffs followed through 2022–23, operations in Mexico and Chile were shuttered, and the company wound down to a minimal skeleton.
Lesson
“Geographic expansion in real-estate tech must be paced against local macro cycles. Three correlated markets is not diversification—it is tripled concentration risk.”
