- dazbradbury 14y agoTake a look at our landlords about page: http://www.openrent.co.uk/landlords http://www.openrent.co.uk/landlords We offer a full service (beyond a simple marketplace) to attract our customers (landlords), and overcome the chicken and egg problem by advertising on already popular portals.
- tocomment 14y agoThe services for landlords are really amazing. Have you considered expanding to the US?
- tocomment 14y agoI was thinking of doing something like this but for niche retail rentals in the US. Could I bounce some questions off of you?
- dazbradbury 14y agoSure, you can get me on [redacted]. Note - I may not get back to you tonight, but will endeavour to do so in the next 24 hours.
- dazbradbury 14y agoIf pg was willing to consider us for YC, we probably would! However, when we applied with the idea last year, we were told the chicken and egg problem was too off-putting. We would also need to spend some time looking at the US market seriously to see how we would go about it, for now, the UK is 100% our focus.
