FAQs about Kindred
Funding context and why this company shows up in venture coverage.
Kindred is a members-only home-swapping network where verified travelers exchange stays in each other's homes instead of booking hotels.
Andreessen Horowitz (see /fund/andreessen-horowitz) led the seed; NEA (/fund/new-enterprise-associates) led Series A; Index Ventures (/fund/index-ventures) led Series C. Bessemer Venture Partners (/fund/bessemer-venture-partners) participated in early rounds.
Kindred raised a Series C in February 2026 led by Index Ventures, following a $15M Series A in 2023.
Home swapping unlocks underused housing inventory for travel at lower cost than hotels, with trust built through member verification.
Kindred remains private as of July 2026.
