Cape Town - Wahi is a South African start-up that connects the owners of space to the people who need space – both commercial and residential.
Wahi means "get" in Swahili and "space" in Maori - two concepts that underpin the basis of the business. Wahi was founded by entrepreneurs Michael Hodgson and Daniel Bailey, both based in Cape Town. Together they have experience in private equity, tech and software development.
“We give property owners the opportunity to generate bonus annuity income from their spare space and also allow renters to achieve cost efficiency and convenience by converging online,” says Hodgson.
“Our main objective is to utilise technology to vastly improve the industry, where we believe it is currently inconvenient and too expensive."
