About the Company

One of our clients is a fast-growing, well-funded startup on a mission to transform the rental market and address one of society's most urgent challenges: the housing crisis.

They are building a digital and financial product that eliminates security deposits and reimagines the renting experience to be fairer, more transparent, and more human-centred. Backed by leading investors and winners of the 32nd SeedRocket Campus, this company combines talent from tech, real estate, and finance, all aligned on one purpose: building technology for social good.

This is more than a product, it's a movement rooted in economic inclusion, social justice, and impact-driven innovation. The team is diverse, fast-moving, and deeply committed to reshaping housing through technology.
