HeyStudent was founded by Konstantinos Stengos with the vision of creating a more trusted and structured student accommodation experience.
Growing up in an environment closely connected to construction, real estate, shipping, and large-scale business operations, Konstantinos developed an early understanding of how trust, quality, and long-term relationships shape successful housing experiences.
His perspective has been influenced by years of exposure to Technical Olympic, one of Greece's most established construction and property groups, where he gained valuable insight into real estate development, operations, infrastructure projects, and business strategy.
The Stengos family's entrepreneurial footprint extends far beyond Greece. Through Technical Olympic USA, the group successfully expanded into the United States, where it became one of the largest construction contractors in the country during its peak years, ranking among the top construction firms nationwide. The family has also maintained a strong presence in the maritime sector through Technomar Shipping, further strengthening its expertise across international business, logistics, and global operations.
Today, Konstantinos leads HeyStudent's strategic direction, combining this legacy of international entrepreneurship with a modern technology-driven approach. His focus is on global growth, innovation, and building a trusted platform that creates stronger connections between students, accommodation providers, and housing partners around the world.
