Fenwick represented Samara, the latest venture launched by Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia which adds small homes to people’s backyards, in its $41 million Series A financing. The round was led by Thrive Capital with participation from 8VC, General Catalyst, New Legacy, Ron Conway’s SV Angel and Airbnb.
Samara will use the funds to scale their brand, product offerings, team and manufacturing capacity to unlock growth and bring high quality accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to every backyard in California and beyond. More information can be obtained from the company’s announcement.
The Fenwick transaction team was led by corporate partners Sam Angus and Jordan Roberts and included associates Jessica He and Justin Kelley.
