OWNR

Founder and Director

Nils T. Kohle is the Founder and Director of OWNR, a German proptech startup specialized in real estate leasing. We spoke with him about the development of this practice of leasing with an option to purchase, which could well compete in the long term with the traditional real estate loan.

What led to the creation of OWNR?
