Company mission
Keyzy's mission is to unlock home ownership in the UK with an innovative rent-to-own product to turn home ownership from a dream into a reality.
Our take
The average age of a first-time buyer in the UK has increased to 34 years old, compared to 27 years old in 2008. This is reflective of the rise in delayed home ownership among young people. Keyzy are setting out to solve the generational challenge that applies to many of those wanting to own a home. They are currently in Stealth mode and will be launching early next year.
Keyzy are backed by founders, Jeremy and Simon. Both have considerable experience in this space which will be key in helping them succeed in the market. This has already been demonstrated by the speed in which they have closed funding with some of the most successful VCs and angel investors.
By tackling a problem that impacts so many, Keyzy has great potential to build a significant business that can change people's lives. Moving forward, the company are focused on expanding their growing team as they continue their launch during 2022.

Long before I'd heard of Keyzy I was looking for opportunities to help ease the housing crisis in the UK. I'm really passionate about this issue and when I heard what Keyzy was trying to do I was "all in". I'm really glad I'm now doing a job that's also a mission for me!
