Dwelly is a UK-based, AI-enabled lettings and property management platform, growing through a roll-up strategy acquiring estate agencies. The company leverages two arms: acquiring existing letting agencies, effectively buying its highly sticky, recurring revenue-type landlords portfolios, and building a top-notch technology to automate tenant management, payments, and post-rental property maintenance.
