What is uprent?

Uprent is a Dutch startup. We create a product that automates rental search in the Netherlands. Our ambition is to develop a solution that’ll eliminate the need for real estate agents in rental transactions, reduce housing prices, distribute the flow of renters across the country, and save millions of people a lot of time on rental search.

The Housing Theory Of Everything

Obesity, inequality, falling fertility & birth rates, climate change… All can be solved much quicker if society would have an affordable housing. That is what we’re trying to do here.

Mission

Help as many people as possible find rental properties with as low time investment as possible

Values

Small teams

Small teams can do big things. Big teams cannot do small things. Small is often plenty. That’s the power of small — you do what needs to be done rather than overdoing it.

Make something people want

Make best for customer. Not for the CEO, not for the VCs, but for the customer. There is nothing more important than the customer.

Team relationships

Our relationships go beyond work. We share memes, travel, hang out. We constantly communicate, do sport together, ask about each other's lives and families. If we spend 10-12 hours together daily, we better enjoy it!

No excuses

We are friends, but if you don’t perform, we find someone who will. Startups are the Olympics, and there's only room for the best.

10% of work, 90% of the results

Every time we do something, we ask ourselves: What 10% of work will give us 90% of the results?

NOTASAP

The expectation of immediate response is everywhere. Real-time everything isn’t human-scale, yet that’s how so many work and communicate these days. Not us. We think urgency is overrated, and ASAP is poison. Real-time is the wrong time most of the time.

Can we survive without you?
