Val Scholz has founded Kiko together with Tony Popov as he had the same frustrating experience living in Vienna, Milan, Lisbon, and London: finding and renting a nice flat is extremely difficult, and requires a lot of time. Their software can be used by private landlords, letting agencies, and institutional landlords to rent out any property in less than 5 minutes online in their own online store as well as manage the entire tenancy.

To date, the company has raised over £500,000 from Seedcamp and other VCs. Kiko operates as a fully remote company and consists of 5 full-time employees based in London, Moscow, and St Petersburg. Before Kiko, Val Scholz lead Growth at Revolut to grow their customer by over 1 million new customers a month and was awarded the Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2018.
