With over 80% of Latin Americans residing in urban areas, efficient property management for residential communities has become essential. The pandemic has amplified the popularity of food delivery apps such as Rappi and Uber Eats, heightening the need for a centralized platform to ensure the safety and well-being of urban residents in gated communities.
Enter Kolonus.
Kolonus is a proptech platform changing the way residents and property managers communicate. Kolonus provides a way for residents, property management companies, and landlords to efficiently communicate and collaborate.
Kolonus is a comprehensive solution designed to streamline life in every kind of community. It provides a range of features to improve security, communication, and convenience for residents, property managers, and security guards. Residents can also receive secure QR code invitations for entry, ensuring authorized access and safeguarding personal information on the platform.
The inspiration
While speaking with VC Mexico, Francisco recounted the origin of Kolonus. "About 10 years ago, I was at a friend's house in a gated community, and we had ordered some food for delivery. We received a call on my friend's cell phone from the front security gate to confirm the order. I then asked a few questions about the personal information the security team had access to. I was shocked by my friend's answers," Francisco explained.
“Talking about security in Mexican gated communities, a friend's delivery issue sparked the idea for Kolonus. The lack of communication between residents and security guards led us to envision an app with QR code access control. We realized this could improve security and convenience, so Kolonus was born.” - Francisco Macedo (Co Founder and CEO of Kolonus)
