Invest Now & Join Our Angel Round
Be Part of the Early-Stage Advantage
This is more than a proptech play. Nestopia is solving real problems in a £55 billion UK rental market at a time of unprecedented reform and demand. By investing in the SEIS-qualified angel round, you’re not just accessing 50% tax relief and pre-Seed valuation pricing, you’re becoming part of the foundation of a platform poised to reshape how people rent, live, and let.
Timing is everything in early-stage investing. The window to benefit is narrow. The chance to back a company led by property veterans and a proven CTO before institutional capital and valuation uplifts kick in is even rarer.

Tax Advantages SEIS & EIS
SEIS delivers up to 50% income tax relief, capital gains tax exemption after 3 years, and loss relief for early investors, all available during the angel round.
EIS eligibility likely becomes available during later Seed A or Series A raises, offering 30% income tax relief on investments up to £2m per tax year.
Why Invest Before Seed A?
Secure shares at the most favourable valuation, ahead of dilution.
Maximise SEIS tax benefits while they're available.
Position for EIS follow‑on advantages when the company scales.
Back critical early milestones: development, user onboarding, and product‑market fit.
The SaaS Opportunity: Why Nestopia Stands Out
The UK private rental market, with over 4.5 million households and growing, is ripe for digital disruption. With rental reform and cost-of-living pressures, both tenants and landlords need more transparency and efficiency.
SaaS adoption in rental‑tech continues double‑digit growth driven by demand for smarter screening, automation, and data-driven insights.
Nestopia offers a tenant‑owned profile ecosystem: verified ID, rental history, affordability metrics, and social validation, all reusable and portable across agents and landlords.
Monetisation comes early from multiple sources including the tenant, landlord, financial services, insurance premiums and property related services.
Built by Industry Insiders for Real Market Fit
Most proptechs are tech-led experiments lacking property insight. Nestopia’s founders bring decades of frontline estate agency experience meaning the platform solves actual pain points for landlords, agents, and tenants. From compliance to conversion funnels, everything is built with real world practicality.
Tenant & Landlord Benefits
Tenants
A reusable, verified profile that increases credibility and selection chances.
Control and dignity, especially impactful for young professionals, international renters, and those with limited rental history.
Lower application stress and faster move‑in times.
Landlords
Access to pre‑qualified tenants with credible data, reducing void periods and risk.
Efficiency: automation of ID checks, document issuance, and onboarding.
Flexibility: reduce reliance on agents and costly manual processes.
Lettings Agents
Helps separate hot leads from hundreds of applications.
Allows an additional reason to contact old data bases to re-enagage.
Gives agents an edge over their competitors for landlord services.
Social Impact & Rental Reform
With evolving legislation reshaping tenant and landlord rights, Nestopia supports fair access and compliant operations. By elevating tenant visibility and streamlining landlord workflows, the platform promotes equitable housing access during a time of rising rental pressures.
Why Our Investors Jackie & Stuart came to Nestopia
“Having met Matt & Kris in 2024, then Richard & Owen in early 2025, their passion, drive, technical innovation and vision to create a digital platform that empowers the tenant, was paramount in our decision to invest.”
