About KeyNest
KeyNest is changing how people relate to their keys. We use smart
RFID fobs to manage keys for thousands of clients across the UK, both at
their own offices and through an extensive network of KeyNest Stores.
We are the first UK company to partner with Airbnb, for whom we welcome
thousands of guests every week.
Our Story
KeyNest was founded in 2015 by Marc Figueras and Florian Hoven, who
met whilst working for a strategy consultancy. It all started when Marc
asked his local café to hold keys for his Airbnb guests, who’d be coming
later that day. Today we have a UK-wide network of stores where we hold
and track keys for thousands of hosts and property managers. Last year
we introduced a key management solution for Estate Agents and Property
Managers following an investment round led by LiFE Ventures. Soon after
we signed a global partnership with Airbnb so we are now featured inside
every Airbnb host’s account in the UK.
We pride ourselves in maintaining a supportive and approachable
atmosphere for our team members to enjoy and really excel at their job.
As a small team we value’s everyone unique style and contribution.
Coordinating secure key handovers using partner stores throws up a
lot of difficult challenges: managing access codes, key tracking and
notifications, guaranteeing anonymity and security, and API integrations
with OTAs like Airbnb. All of this complexity has to be presented to
all parties with clean, self-explanatory user interfaces. We are looking
for a developer to work closely with our product team to develop new
features and APIs, and set up and manage the application infrastructure.
