About this project

RentCo is a peer-to-peer rental marketplace developed by AFSA FAM VENTURES that connects individuals and businesses with underutilised assets to people seeking temporary access to products without the financial commitment and responsibilities associated with ownership. The platform is designed to transform idle assets into income-generating opportunities while providing renters with a convenient, flexible and cost-effective alternative to purchasing products that may only be needed occasionally.

RentCo integrates key rental processes, including asset listing, product discovery, booking, payment and trust mechanisms, within a single platform, addressing the fragmentation, accessibility and trust barriers commonly associated with the existing rental market. Through a structured marketplace model, asset owners can list and monetise unused products, while renters can search, compare and access a diverse range of assets based on their specific needs and duration of use.

The business adopts an asset-light model, generating revenue primarily through transaction commissions while creating additional revenue opportunities through value-added services such as logistics, asset protection, premium subscriptions and business-to-business rental solutions. By leveraging digital technology and a community-driven approach, RentCo aims to establish a trusted, efficient and scalable rental ecosystem. The platform will initially focus on the Malaysian market before expanding strategically across Southeast Asia, supporting a more accessible and sustainable approach to product utilisation and ownership.

RentCo. (by AFSA FAM VENTURES) is competing at the International Entrepreneurship Convention 2026, 7 and 8 October, Putrajaya.
