Cautioneo
Online rental guarantee service founded in 2018 in Lille by Julien Chenet and David Edery
Online rental guarantee service founded in 2018 in Lille by Julien Chenet and David Edery, incubated at Euratechnologies. Cautioneo acts as an institutional guarantor for tenants who lack a personal guarantor or who find themselves in so-called atypical situations (relocation, new job, fixed-term contract, self-employed), making it easier for them to access housing. At the same time, the platform secures the landlord's income by covering unpaid rent with no waiting period or deductible, along with property damage and any legal costs. Cautioneo has also developed Lokeo, a property listings platform reserved for tenants eligible for its guarantee, and benefits from a partnership with the Fondation d'Aguesseau to subsidize the premium for staff of the French Ministry of Justice. Raised EUR 350,000 in seed funding from Founders Future and Kima Ventures in 2018. Over 1,500 verified reviews with a rating of 4.6/5. Coverage of up to EUR 96,000 in unpaid rent per lease. Incubated at Euratechnologies in Lille.
