Interesting, definitely taps into a very large market.
Some Questions:
0. Website/app ? url ?
1. How many rooms/houses have you managed so far?
2. How many tenants? How many owners?
3. Whats your take (assuming you're renting on behalf of house owners)
4. How big is your team? track record of building products/businesses (not that it matters but good to highlight if you have done relevant stuff in the past)
5. What have you learned about the marketplace in the last 11 months?
meta-comment: I think Apply HN is a great idea. I (and I'm sure many others) might consider partnering/investing with promising ventures even if they actually don't get into HN)
- subbu 11y ago0. http://simplyguest.com http://simplyguest.com 1. we have 22 houses, 58 rooms, 80 beds 2. we have 76 tenants and 14 owners 3. Owners don't like revenue sharing. They prefer fixed rent; they don't mind lower rent if we can give them a hassle-free experience and promise long-term rental income. 4. Team is just me, and my co-founder. I am a software eng (past apigee, pramati). I take care of tech, sales/marketing, cust dev. My co-founder is a civil contractor and takes care of operations. We have one part-time person helping us with digital marketing. 5. Operations in general is a challenge. Every house has 10s of keys, sometimes much more; managing them is a problem. There are 20 other such smaller issues.
