Founder & CEO,
Husmus
Sarah Wernér is an award-winning entrepreneur and data scientist who founded Husmus to drive housing and financial inclusion. Recognising that both landlords and tenants face unnecessary barriers in the rental market, Sarah created Husmus - combining AI-powered screening with comprehensive property protection.
Husmus is an AI-first embedded insurance and financial profiling platform. Their technology de-risks private housing by providing landlords with stronger protection and renters with greater access to homes. 12.1 million UK adults are locked out of mainstream financial products by outdated credit systems. In housing, this means reliable tenants, freelancers, immigrants, and gig workers, are rejected by landlords who rely on blunt credit scores to manage risk. The result is a vicious cycle: landlords cannot find trustworthy tenants, tenants cannot access homes, and local councils spend over £2.8 billion per year on temporary accommodation because people who could rent privately are excluded from doing so.
