Tied-up capital becomes capital accumulation
Until now, rental deposits have usually been held in traditional bank accounts with little or no interest - capital that is effectively tied up for tenants. KautionsKauz makes it possible to invest this deposit sustainably in broadly diversified ETFs, while landlords remain fully protected by a bank guarantee. This creates a win-win situation:
More potential returns and transparency for tenants - the same security and a streamlined, digital process for landlords.
"With KautionsKauz, we turn the otherwise unused rental deposit into a high-yield, sustainable investment and at the same time create more security and transparency for tenants and landlords."
Strongly anchored at Munich University of Applied Sciences
The team is accompanied by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Wach (Entrepreneurship & General Business Administration, HM Business School), who supports them as a mentor:
He emphasizes:
"If we free the rental deposit from paper and standstill, tied-up money will become a digital trust standard: fast, legally secure and scalable for the entire rental market."
With the exist start-up grant, the team will now have the opportunity to further advance product development, finalize regulatory issues and prepare the platform for market entry.
We are delighted to accompany KautionsKauz on this journey and wish them every success in their next steps!
