Operations Manager

A propos de nous

Settlesweet est la start-up technologique qui veut révolutionner la manière d’accéder au logement, en proposant :

• un outil destiné aux agents immobiliers pour faciliter la mise en location de biens
• un service d’accompagnement pour les employés en mobilité dans leur recherche de logement, en place chez de nombreuses start-ups françaises (Doctolib, Qonto, Swile, Vestiaire Collective, Aircall...)

Grâce à notre technologie unique et à une réelle emphase sur l'expérience client, nous visons à rendre l'expérience de recherche de logement plus rapide, plus simple et plus agréable à la fois pour les candidats à la location et les agents immobiliers.

Nous sommes installés à Station F, le plus grand incubateur du monde, au centre de l'écosystème startup français et nous sommes soutenu par l'Ecole Polytechnique.

Notre histoire

Guillaume Seiler (ESSEC) et Mathieu Brun-Picard (Arts et Métiers) ont lancé Settlesweet il y a deux ans.
Tous deux ont vécu plusieurs déménagements à travers le monde (USA, Inde, Chine, Vietnam, etc ...) et se sont rendus compte qu'il n'existait aucun service pour simplifier l'expérience de recherche de logement.

Notre vision

Permettre à chacun de s'installer sans effort partout dans le monde

Notre mission

Nous nous efforçons d’offrir la meilleure expérience dans le parcours locatif aussi bien du côté des agents immobiliers que des candidats à la location en dotant les deux partis des meilleurs outils tech et de process standardisés pour gagner en efficience.

Nos valeurs

- Always Customer First
- Be Humble & Curious
