Ublo

What Ublo does

Ublo is a Paris-based SaaS company founded in August 2020 by Agathe Machavoine and Flavien Douetteau, providing rental property management software for professional landlords, social housing providers, real estate companies, and property management agencies. The platform is structured around three interfaces: a manager web application (Webapp Gestionnaire) for portfolio oversight and automated actions, a tenant portal (Portail Locataire) for lease signing, rent payment, incident reporting, and document access, and a professional web application (Webapp Pro) for external service providers conducting digital property inventories. Functional modules include automated rent invoicing (quittancement) with PDF generation and email delivery, smart rental file management with candidate validation workflows, tablet-based digital inventories compliant with France's 2016 Alur law, multi-entity portfolio management, ticketing for incident tracking, tenant surveys, and an open GraphQL API for ecosystem integration.

The underlying technology stack emphasizes integration and UX over AI: the platform is web-based, white-label capable, hosted on DigitalOcean servers in Amsterdam for GDPR compliance, and integrates with Bridge (Bankin') for DSP2-compliant bank account connectivity and payment reconciliation, plus Pipedrive for CRM. The business model is a per-lot monthly subscription starting from €1 per rental unit per month, plus a one-time setup fee covering branding integration and training. Ublo employs a hybrid GTM combining self-serve product-led growth, event-driven demand generation (VivaTech 2025, MIPIM 2024, HLM Congress), SEO and content marketing, and direct enterprise sales. Customer segments span social housing providers (bailleurs sociaux), foncieres, co-living operators (Joivy), real estate agencies, civil real estate companies (SCI), housing associations, and shared-living/flat-share arrangements. The company reports 100,000+ lots under management, claims 1h30 daily time savings per FTE through automation, and operates with 11-50 employees. Its single disclosed funding round was a €759,859 Bpifrance investment in May 2021; subsequent institutional backing includes BPI France, Banque des Territoires, Région Île-de-France, and Kima Ventures, alongside strategic partnerships with Orange, Ville de Paris, La Poste, and Treezor.
