We confirm if a unit is still vacant and then make an offer to rent it, often surprising landlords with our quick turnaround.

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

We realized that instead of just improving tenant screening, we could provide landlords with a guarantee that their units would never be vacant again.

The biggest value we offer landlords is that we have skin in the game; if we misjudge the leasing timeline, we lose money, which aligns our interests with theirs.

In our early days, we operated a cold-calling strategy, reaching out to landlords directly to understand their needs and offer our services.

If we solve problems for landlords, the benefits often extend to tenants, leading to a smoother application process and better deals for them.

We aimed to launch our improved service in three months, incorporating payments and reviews to enhance user experience, and we launched our service just weeks before a major event, listing 800 properties to help locals make extra money during the influx of visitors.

We maintain transparency with landlords about pricing and relisting strategies, which helps build trust and solidifies our partnership.

After our initial launch, we didn't see immediate success and even explored creating a roommate matching website before pivoting back to Airbnb.
