In the 15th episode of Italian Village - The Podcast, we sit down with an Italian innovator who set out to transform the way we rent homes: Luca Bregoli, Co-Founder and COO of Cove, one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic co-living startups.https://youtu.be/6yIpPtjpNTQFrom Italy to Singapore, Luca took a familiar frustration — the slow, complicated, and often expensive process of finding a rental home — and turned it into an opportunity to build something better. With Cove, he helped create a platform that digitises and simplifies renting, putting tenants at the heart of the experience. No more endless viewings, no more paperwork, no agent fees — just flexible contracts, transparent pricing, and even the chance to know who your future housemates are before you move in.In this episode, Luca shares the journey that led him and his co-founders Sophie #Jokelson and Guillaume #Castagne to launch #Cove, the untapped potential of the rental market in Asia, and why younger generations are increasingly choosing co-living over buying property. We also talk about how the pandemic reshaped housing needs, and what the future holds for urban living across the region.If you’re curious about innovation, building a business abroad, or how our cities — and homes — are evolving, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.---🎥 Guarda l’episodio completo su YouTube:👉 https://youtube.com/@italianvillage🌐 Scopri di più su: https://www.italianvillage.it/An idea of: Omar Bassalti 👉 / https://www.linkedin.com/in/omarbassalti/Follow us on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/45kNUaSApple Podcast: https://apple.co/3VDVWZeAmazon Music: https://amzn.to/3Rrch17Guest: Luca Bregoli 👉 https://www.crunchbase.com/person/luca-bregoliHost: Omar Bassalti 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/omarbassalti/Co-Host: Monica Vecchi 👉 https://sg.linkedin.com/in/monica-vecchi-490a5631Executive Producer: Italian Village - The Podcast | https://italianvillage.itArt Director: Italian Village - The Podcast | https://italianvillage.itAudio and Video Post-Production: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/Intro and Animations: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/ via https://www.canva.com/Graphics: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/ via https://www.canva.com/Video Equipment: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/Lighting Equipment: Orchard Road Studios | https://www.orchardroad.studio/Social Media Manager: DLVRContact: info@italianvillage.itLocation:400 Orchard Road#06-10 Orchard TowersSingapore 238875https://maps.app.goo.gl/mkkA4t8p1S9k6FES8
