Overview
TopKey provides banking, corporate cards, payments, and expense management purpose-built for short-term rental (STR) and hospitality operators managing multiple properties. The platform replaces personal credit cards and spreadsheet accounting common among Airbnb-style hosts. In 2023, Felicis led a $5.2M seed round with Andreessen Horowitz participation per Seedtable coverage. TopKey competes with generic neobanks and QuickBooks but embeds property-level accounting and vendor payments STR owners need.
