Description How It Started. When Ikos Co-Founder and CEO Steven Welles first moved to Pittsburgh, he nearly missed out on a great apartment. “I actually turned it down,” he says, “because the property manager knew nothing about the neighborhood.” But as luck would have it, a resident passing by overheard their conversation and gave Steven a snapshot of the neighborhood that clinched his decision. “That was the tipping point,” he says.
In 2016, Steven and his Co-Founder Patrick Paul started Ikos to help simplify the leasing process for property owners and renters.
“Most property owners are trying to run a small business outside of their day job and they don’t have the tools to do it,” says Steven. Ikos has created a platform to help these landlords market, show and rent their properties - all while providing a sense of local flavor to the renters they meet along the way.
Since launching in Pittsburgh in 2017, Ikos has expanded to six other markets, including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Cleveland, Chicago, and Milwaukee.
