About Crib
Modernising rental operations in Africa — one property at a time.
Crib was built out of a simple observation: most landlords and property managers in Uganda are running sophisticated rental businesses on spreadsheets, notebooks, and WhatsApp groups. The tools exist — they just weren't built for this market.
Our story
We set out to build a property operations platform that is modern, practical, and genuinely useful for the way rental businesses work in Africa. Not a luxury listings site. Not a generic CRM. A focused operational tool that makes it easier to manage properties, tenants, and rent — every single day.
From a single apartment to a portfolio of 100 units, Crib scales with your business and stays out of your way — handling leases, rent collection, maintenance requests, and tenant communication so you can focus on growing your portfolio instead of chasing paperwork.
Our mission and who we build for
Our mission
To give every landlord and property manager in Africa — from a single apartment to a portfolio of hundreds of units — the same operational clarity that large institutional landlords take for granted.
Who we build for
Independent landlords, agencies managing properties on behalf of owners, and the tenants and caretakers who keep those properties running day to day.
What guides how we build
Built for Africa
Designed around how landlords and tenants actually operate in Uganda and across African cities — not copied from Western markets.
Mobile first
Your portfolio, your tenants, your cashflow — accessible from any device, at any time, from anywhere.
Secure and reliable
Role-based access, encrypted records, and an audit trail that keeps your data safe and your team accountable.
Operationally focused
Not a listings site, not a CRM. Crib is a day-to-day operational tool built to reduce admin and increase visibility.
