When we decided to join Y Combinator, we were already profitable and saw it as an opportunity to scale our team and improve our fundraising efforts.

We were accepted into Y Combinator, which was a significant milestone for us and changed the course of our company.

Remote operations have allowed Y Combinator to widen its net, enabling startups from around the world to participate without relocating to Silicon Valley.

During our time at Y Combinator, we pivoted to focus on eliminating the risk of vacancy for landlords, offering them a compelling solution.

After Y Combinator, we struggled financially for about a year, living off savings and working out of a friend's living room, which was made possible by the generosity of his parents.

We run super light on capital at Y Combinator, which has its advantages, but applying more capital could have made things smoother.

After Y Combinator, we raised a Series A and had to adapt our processes as we hired more people, which is an ongoing challenge as we grow. Building a distributed team wasn't intentional at first; it was a necessity to find engineers, which led to organic growth and advantages like hiring from anywhere in the world.

As we expanded to other cities, we found that our operations became more efficient and the technology improved, leading to better service.

After exiting Y Combinator, we achieved $200,000 in revenue within six weeks, and by the end of the year, we reached about $1 million, showcasing our rapid growth trajectory.
