In our latest Spotlight Series virtual event, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Andrew Borovsky, the visionary co-founder and CEO of Rent App. The conversation traced Andrew’s impressive journey through some of tech’s most iconic companies—and the lessons that ultimately led him to build one of today’s most exciting fintech startups.
Andrew began by sharing stories from his early days as a product designer at Adobe and later Apple, where he was part of the team that helped bring iCloud to life. He spoke about the culture of innovation at Apple, and how working alongside some of the sharpest minds in tech shaped his approach to product development and user experience.
The discussion then turned to his time at Square, where Andrew joined after co-founding 80/20, a design consultancy that was acquired by the payments giant. At Square, he helped build tools that empowered small business owners—an experience he credits with fueling his passion for creating financial products that serve overlooked communities.
That passion is front and center in his current venture, Rent App (by Visible), which enables renters to pay landlords directly—bank-to-bank, without fees or limits—and even build credit with each on-time payment. Andrew spoke candidly about the complexities of the rental ecosystem and how Rent App is helping to bridge the gap between financial technology and real estate.
Throughout the event, Andrew offered valuable insights on leadership, product design, and the importance of staying close to the user. He also reflected on the evolution of fintech, and why now is the moment to rethink how people interact with money—especially in areas like rent, where the stakes are high and the tools have traditionally fallen short.
We’re incredibly grateful to Andrew for joining us and sharing his story. Stay tuned for more Spotlight Series events featuring the leaders and innovators shaping the future.
