Brendan founded the Homeward Initiative with a $150,000 grant he won from the University of Pennsylvania shortly before he graduated in 2019. He created the Homeward Initiative to address the dire lack of LGBTQ-affirming resources for homeless youth in Philadelphia, who compose approximately 40% of the youth homeless population. The model, called host homes, diverts young people from shelters and the street, both of which are extremely dangerous, by placing them in the homes of vetted and caring adult volunteers while they wait for longer term housing - like Airbnb, but for a good cause. Brendan is passionate about co-living because he believes that community and belonging are to the soul what food and water are to the body - essential to our survival. He plans on dedicating his life to empowering people to find a place they belong.

Founded in 2019 by real estate entrepreneur Chris Monkman and technology builder James Waterhouse, Neighbourhood exists to create a world where anyone can be at home wherever they are.

Chris began his career in real estate with Urban Splash, a design-led regeneration and modular development company. Starting with small projects that transformed forgotten places Chris moved from repurposing individual buildings, to developing city blocks and then whole neighbourhoods, regenerating some of the most challenging areas across the UK, all for which he was awarded Property Weeks Trailblazer of the year.

It was only when Chris moved to London was it that he found a bigger problem he had to solve. He found it hard to find flexible and connected homes with like-minded people in the areas he wanted to live. Inspired by the potential of people and places, and with a passion for design, technology and community building, Neighbourhood was born.

Neighbourhood designs, develops and operates a network of design led coliving homes for purpose driven people.

At just 6 months old, Chris & James have launched the Neighbourhood brand, raised their pre-seed round of venture capital funding, and have partnered with some of the UK’s leading property developers.

With their prototype Neighbourhood now live in Manchester – they have 28 beds under management, 150 in the pipeline, and a flagship scheme soon to be announced in London.

On a mission to become the world's most loved city living brand, these ambitious founders have only just begun.

Cate Maiolini is the London Mayor of Startuphome, the first social enterprise in the co-living space in Europe.

Cate has the talent to create freedom and funds to travel the world with very unusual jobs. If you have ever heard about Paris Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week, that’s one example of Cate’s work. She managed teams backstage for some of the most prestigious brands in fashion.

Fashion Weeks is also where Cate first learned about the co-living lifestyle. Young people from all around the world and gather into awesome cities like Paris and Milan, and a hotel can be a very lonely place. Cate saw the demand for big shared houses for a community of like-minded people and started investing into real estate. After 5 years, she’s now a recognized expert in co-living and co-housing, extending her expertise from remote workers to senior citizens in co-housing.

Eventually, Cate arrived in London, where she met Startuphome, a social enterprise focused on building co-living and communities for entrepreneurs and remote workers. They liked each other so much that Cate joined the project as Mayor of London.

From its humble beginning 4 years ago, Startuphome grew into an international spot, hosting guests from 41 countries, and managing exchange programmes with universities, angel syndicates, and investors associations.

The project was initially created to host tech startups moving to London from all around the UK and the world, and it has kept this tech/geeky side alive. For example, if you are a Startuphome member or alumni you can receive your post in London, and read it from your laptop or mobile, no matter where you are in the globe. Or, you can take photos of your receipts, upload them, and a team of accountants living as digital nomads will file your bookkeeping at a fraction of the cost The accountants can live on a beach in Thailand as digital nomads, and you – well - you don’t have to think about admin, bureaucracy and taxes. Win-win!
