Nice work. I like the logo and its a great idea. This space seems to be getting crowded, I feel like I've seen a few apps in this vein recently, most notably RentShare (http://rentshare.com http://rentshare.com), which a few of my friends in NYC use.
My biggest question to you (and anyone else here): What's your strategy for differentiating yourself from others in the market?
- rschmukler 15y agoOne thing we are looking into is building a sort of roommate resume. We have data on how much you borrow from friends, how long you take to pay back, how often you do and don't do your chores, etc... I find as I am transitioning out of college, I am about to move again to a new place and now I'll need to find new roommates. I personally would pay a fee to have access to good roommates to choose from, especially if its backed up by some sort of tangible history (badges, analytics, etc.) There's also a lot of opportunity here to make a game out of something not fun. Game mechanics are perhaps a bit over done, but none the less, it could be fun to compete against roommates for the title of best roommate. Hell, we could even incorporate something where all the roommates take a pool ($10 each for example) and the roommate with the highest points at the end of the month gets it.
