Privacy-first sensor for rental property monitoring
About Minut
Minut is a technology company that provides a comprehensive platform for proactive property insights, specializing in the short-term rental market. Founded in 2014 in Malmö, Sweden, by Nils Mattisson, Marcus Ljungblad, Fredrik Ahlberg, and Martin Lööf, the company emerged from the HAX accelerator in Shenzhen, China. The founding team, which includes CEO Nils Mattisson, a former member of Apple's exploratory design group, aimed to address the growing need for respectful, tech-driven solutions in the shared living space.
Read full description
The company's core offering is a camera-free, self-installed sensor that monitors various environmental factors in a property. Key features include indoor and outdoor noise detection, occupancy monitoring by counting nearby mobile devices, cigarette smoke detection, and tracking of temperature and humidity to prevent issues like mold or frozen pipes. The system is designed with privacy as a priority; it does not record audio or video but analyzes sound levels and other data on the device itself to identify potential issues like parties or disturbances, alerting property managers in real-time. This allows hosts to resolve 94% of noise issues within 15 minutes, often through automated guest communication.
Minut operates on a subscription-based business model, targeting property managers of vacation rentals, hotels, student housing, and multifamily residential buildings. The platform is built to be scalable, serving clients with portfolios ranging from a few properties to thousands, and is used in over 100 countries. Having raised a total of $30.7M in funding over 8 rounds, with its latest Series B round in December 2023, the company continues to expand its services and product portfolio. All hardware is designed and manufactured in Minut's own Swedish factory, ensuring end-to-end control over quality and design.
