Startup Spotlight: HOUSR

​We’re excited to welcome Harry Panter, Co-founder and CEO of HOUSR, for our next Startup Spotlight event.

​Harry’s entrepreneurial journey began right here at the University of Manchester, where he and his co-founders set out to make student renting simpler, fairer, and more transparent. What started as an idea between students frustrated with the traditional rental experience has since grown into HOUSR — a fast-growing proptech platform revolutionising how students find, rate, and rent their next home.

🎯 What you’ll learn:

• ​How to turn a student idea into a real business that scales

• ​The biggest lessons from building and leading a startup team

• ​How innovation and persistence can disrupt traditional industries

• ​Insights into leadership, funding, and overcoming early-stage challenges
