Resi (company)

Resi is a UK-based online architectural platform founded in 2017 by Alexandra Depledge and Jules Coleman.[1][2] The company delivers residential home renovation services to UK homeowners.[3][4][5][6][7]

History

Resi was founded in 2017 as BuildPath following the sale of Hassle.com in 2015 by co-founders Depledge and Coleman.[8][9][10] Their experience with a failed home extension motivated them to create a more transparent architectural service.[11][12][13]

In March 2023, ITV acquired a minority stake in Resi in exchange for up to £3 million of advertising inventory across ITV's Channels.[14][15][16]

In October 2024, the company raised £5 million in a funding round led by Nesta and Foresight, valuing the company at £20 million.[17]

In January 2025, Nesta Impact Investments announced backing for Resi.[18]
