How it all started...
KeyNest was founded in 2016 by two Airbnb hosts, Marc and Florian. Marc was getting fed up with changing his plans to meet Airbnb guests who were arriving late, so he asked his local cafe to hold the keys for him - and that’s when KeyNest was born.
Now our network of points holds and hands over the keys for thousands of people across 12 countries, and we provide KeyNest Cloud, a smart key tracking software for estate agents.
KeyNest Cloud and KeyNest Points
KeyNest Cloud is a unique key management system that tracks keys in and out of business premises, so you’ll never lose keys again. KeyNest Points hold keys locally and are typically used by Airbnb hosts and property managers. Both products work seamlessly together so you’ll be able to manage all your keys in one dashboard.
Award winning
In November 2018 we were proud to win smallbusiness.co.uk’s Small Business Grants initiative. We have been recognised in our industry as an essential service provider, with shortlistings for the 2019 Serviced Apartment Awards, Negotiator Awards and UK PropTech Awards, and the 2020 Shortyz Awards.
Backed by the UK’s leading property companies
KeyNest is backed by LiFE Residential, one of London’s leading estate agents and part of the Galliard Homes group. We joined LiFE Ventures’ accelerator programme in 2017, as part of our second round of investment.
