Empowering people to move when they need to move.
We believe that people deserve the freedom of mobility, whether they rent or own. We believe that this freedom shouldn't come at the cost of anyone else, and we believe it doesn't have to. We believe in a world where you can move when you need to move, without going through a lawyer.
We started in Cios in 2022 from our own experiences as renters and frequent movers. When we moved to the US, we couldn't believe how expensive it was to get out of a lease.
When we dug deeper, we couldn't believe how many people were in the same situation that we were in — from friends and colleagues to people off the street that we had never met before. From there, built our vision of a friendlier way to rent, for both renters and property managers alike.
Today, we're proud to be partnering with leading property managers and owners across the country who share our vision, working together to make renting a more flexible and accommodating experience for everyone.
Make decisions with data: We make informed decisions by carefully analyzing data and considering multiple perspectives before taking action.
Have strong opinions, weakly held: We value open-mindedness and the ability to change our opinions when presented with new information or perspectives.
Ask for forgiveness, not permission: We empower our team members to take initiative and make bold decisions, learning from any mistakes along the way.
Be a contrarian: We encourage innovative thinking and challenging the status quo in order to find better solutions and drive positive change.
Our founders are frequent movers and renters who have led marketing, sales, engineering, and product teams at transformational companies and startups alike.
