## Summary

KEVA develops smart locks and access-management software for rental-property operators. Its design centers on digital keys stored in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and operation without managed Wi-Fi at each property.

## Impact

Rental operators repeatedly issue, recover, and revoke physical keys across dispersed properties. KEVA's bet is that wallet-based credentials and offline-capable locks can reduce that coordination burden without requiring a Wi-Fi deployment at every door. Public sources establish the product direction and an early-access offer, but not scaled deployment.

## Utah Context

KEVA publicly identifies Logan as its headquarters. Its team has represented Utah State University in the Utah Entrepreneurship Challenge, connecting hardware, software, and property operations inside Utah's student-founder pipeline.

## What They Need Now

The company is soliciting property managers for early access and product demonstrations. No current public jobs page was found.

## Open Questions

- How many doors and property operators are in live deployments?
- Which lock certifications and independent security evaluations cover the current hardware?
- How does the system revoke credentials when a lock is offline?
