About Cuan

A harbour for the work nobody sees.

Cuan is Irish for harbour — a safe place where things are looked after. That's the job: to be the system Irish managing agents run on, so the unglamorous, relentless work of block management finally gets done well.

The thesis

Agent-first, on purpose.

The earlier entrants drifted into community tools for residents — useful, but not a business. Cuan is built the other way round: for the managing agent who carries the risk, holds the licence, and lives or dies on cost-per-problem.

The trick is that the owner experience is good enough to win contracts — so the agent uses it to grow. A community tool can't easily become a money platform. The reverse is just a feature flag.

“The agent's fee is flat per unit. But their cost is per problem. Cuan deletes problems.”

The positioning, in one line.

The moat

Irish law isn't a setting. It's built into the foundations.

The MUD Act 2011, the Companies Act 2014 and PSRA client-money rules are first-class objects in Cuan — which is exactly why directors and accountants trust the output. That depth is hard to copy and impossible to bolt on.

MUD Act 2011

Charges, sinking funds, sale packs

Companies Act 2014

Registers, AGMs, CRO returns

PSRA 2011

Client-money rules, funds never held

What we believe

Seven principles, binding on every feature.

01

Approval-first AI

AI drafts, classifies and flags — it never sends, charges or files. A human always taps approve.

02

Agent-branded everywhere

Portal, emails, SMS, invoices and sale packs carry the agency's brand. Cuan is in the small print.

03

Cuan never holds funds

Every euro settles to the PSRA client account. We meter volume; we never touch money.

04

The data belongs to the OMC

Full export at any time, no exit penalty. Easy exit is a feature, not a threat.

05

Every awkward conversation becomes a workflow

Arrears, fee increases, levy news — the product removes the human from the uncomfortable moment.

06

Close every loop

Anyone who reports something is told when it's resolved — automatically, with evidence.

07

Nothing requires an app install

Responsive web, magic links, email and SMS deep links. Owners won't install anything.

Where we are

Building in Ireland, with our first agencies.

Cuan is early, and deliberately so. We're onboarding our first agencies, measuring the collection-rate lift with each, and building the rest of the platform alongside the people who'll live in it. No vanity metrics — just the number that matters, measured honestly.

The number is the product

Instrumented around one metric.

Cuan measures on-time collection against your own prior-year baseline — and stakes the price on moving it. Everything else follows from that number.
