Flatmates

The challenge

Finding affordable and high-quality housing with friends as an adult in the Netherlands is nearly impossible due to strict rental policies, high demand, and landlords favoring individual tenants or couples over groups. While student housing options exist, there is no structured system for young professionals and adults who want to share a modern apartment. As a result, many are forced into suboptimal living arrangements, long and frustrating searches, or unaffordable single-renter apartments. The lack of innovative solutions in this space leaves a growing segment of renters without a suitable housing model.

The solution

This startup is creating a co-living platform that makes it easy for adults to find and rent high-quality apartments together. By partnering with landlords and property managers, the platform will offer pre-approved shared apartments specifically designed for groups. Using smart matching, transparent rental agreements, and a streamlined application process, the platform eliminates the common barriers to co-renting. With features like group applications, fair contract structures, and co-living perks, this innovation will transform shared housing into an accessible, affordable, and attractive option for adults beyond student life.
