Ideal Flatmate ranks top index on the UK's Startup 100

July 3, 2019

Leading room share platform, Ideal Flatmate, is on the top index of disruptive businesses within the last five years in the UK.

Operated by Startups.co.uk, the Startups 100 showcases new businesses which demonstrate innovation, economic impact, solid financials and the ability to scale.

Ideal Flatmate joins names from previous years such as Deliveroo, Notonthehighstreet and Monzo.

“Congratulations to all of the companies listed on the Startups 100 this year. We had more entries than ever and the standard was especially high, so being included is a fantastic achievement,” said Bryn Glover, Editor of Startups.co.uk.

“We have a good track record of identifying potential – Deliveroo, Notonthehighstreet, HelloFresh and many more, so we can’t wait to watch the businesses progress over the coming years,” Glover continued.

The room sharing platform uses scientifically designed algorithms to match potential house mates, in order to ensure they are compatible. Compatibility is based on a range of personality traits, which has enabled much higher tenant retention rates as a result.

The platform was founded by Tom Gatzen and Rob Imonikhe, forming a firm foundation in the nation’s capital since it launched in 2016. The concept has now been rolled out across a variety of major cities in the UK.

“We’ve put a lot of work into delivering a platform that puts the emphasis on people rather than property and I think this is something that resonates with the many who have otherwise had a less than ideal experience when renting in the UK,” Tom Gatzen, Co-Founder of Ideal Flatmate, commented on the announcement.
