“Since covid and work from home are coming into play – a lot has changed for the real estate world and in the rental space. Hence, a lot of people are investing to enter the market at its lowest. A lot of changes are expected to happen. Although everyone is learning as they go, the early entrants would benefit the most. Settl has great potential to become a beautiful one-of-the-first mix of co-living + co-working if the founders play their cards right,” stated Karn Rajani, Venture Partner, ah! Ventures.
