Bio
I created my first business, just before the .com bust, and sold that company to an ecommerce .com start-up in late 1999. I think you might be able to guess how that turned out. After wiping my tears and my ass with the paper I traded for my company, I moved on to use that experience in how I approach business today.

Elevator Pitch
Moving is expensive and time consuming. An average relocation takes over 40 hours and that is just to call property managers, landlords and setup showings. Existing rental platforms are outdated sales brochures, not comprehensive tools, leaving users without vital information and efficient processes. The market is largely controlled by 7 major companies, running 24 of the largest rental brands, designed for landlords and property managers, versus more focus on the needs of all users with native Ai, built into ever step of the rental eco system.
