Kopa began as an engineering project at the University of Waterloo and has now grown into a YC-backed startup with a mission to inspire renters to connect, explore, and live fully. Kopa is a marketplace for monthly rentals and roommates that allows renters to step out of their comfort zones, form lasting relationships, and live richer lives. On the platform, hosts can market their properties, while renters can apply, book listings, find housemates, and make payments easily.

Kopa values doing the right thing, continuous learning, exploring passions, and making genuine human connections. The leadership team is composed of talented individuals with diverse backgrounds and expertise. The co-founders, Jack Forbes and Courtney Sabo, bring their unique skills and experiences to drive Kopa's success.

Kopa's journey started in 2012 when Jack faced difficulties finding housing for his co-ops, which led him to create the platform. They launched in October 2016 and have since gained traction, expanding their listings and user base. In 2019, Kopa graduated from Y Combinator, further solidifying their position in the industry.

With Kopa, renters can find their ideal living spaces and make meaningful connections with housemates, while hosts can easily market their properties and find reliable tenants. Find your place, connect with others, and live fully with Kopa
