TEAM

After facing challenge over challenge during his tenancies, Valentin Scholz saw an opportunity to disrupt the current long-term rental market. He was included in the Forbes List of 30 Under 30 in2018 when he was Head of product growth at Revolut, one of Europe’s few unicorns. He now leads Kiko alongside his co-founder Tony Popov.

PROBLEM 

For people aiming to build a stable source of income by buying flats to let, landlording often turns out to be a time-consuming and effort-intensive process. Finding an affordable apartment feels nearly impossible in more and more European cities. And what sounds like a great savings plan for the future turns out to be extremely cumbersome and leads to weak returns. ‍

SOLUTION‍

Facilitating the search of tenants including painless bookings is only one part of the solution. Managing rent collections, decreasing void periods, guaranteeing payment on time, and better protection against property damages makes Kiko the one stop shop for property owners. With Kiko "buy to let" investments become a much more reliable source of long-term savings.
