Company mission
Making it easy and cool to rent a new place to live.
1% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
The global student rental market has been steadily growing but finding a place to live as a student, especially abroad, can be a tiresome challenge. Uniplaces was created to answer that call.
The startup adds a range of features to its rental service to ensure its properties are especially attractive to students, and its platform is ideal for landlords. For example, Uniplaces will deliver prepaid accommodation certificates for student tenants needing documentation for paperwork for their year abroads.
Uniplaces has its eyes on an ambitious global expansion, starting with plans to launch in France, Italy and Germany. The challenge for Uniplaces will be continuing to list the most attractive properties, with both traditional rental providers and a range of new upstarts appealing to digital nomads and students living abroad in Europe.
