Recalling their college days，friends Miguel Amaro，Ben Grech and Mariano Kostelec all say

that their biggest problem was finding somewhere to live in the first place.

As an international student from Argentina，Mariano had to pay 1 2 months’rent in advance to

get his place in London.Dutchman Miguel booked some super—-expensive residence in Nottingham because he didn’t know any better.Ben from the UK was looking around the streets of Nottingham knocking on doors trying to find a place.

A year after graduating from universities respectively，the three men realized that there was a

business opportunity.They came up with a plan to create an online marketplace matching students

with accommodation.So in 2011 the three started work on their business and website Uniplaces.

They invested around￡50，000.Later that year they won first round funding of 200，000 euros

led by the founder of UK property website Zoopla.

From there it was down to business，getting a permanent office in Lisbon，Portugal and

attracting landlords(房东)to join the site and checking properties(房产).The Uniplaces website

was then officially launched in 2013，with an initial 50 properties in the Portuguese capital listed onthe site.

Mariano，28，says：“We picked Lisbon as our first city as it totally made sense to stay here.It

is a low—cost，good location with access to great talent such as good engineers，and people with

excellent language skills，which is great when dealing with so many international students.”

Students using Uniplaces pay one month’S rent in advance via the website，and the sum goes

through to the landlord 24 hours after they move in.Thereafter they pay directly to the landlord

Uniplaces takes a service fee of 20—25%of the student’S first month’s rent.
