Hey! Renting in metropolitan cities like London, NY, SF etc is out of control now with the rise in cost of living and shortage of spare rooms, so we decided to build a platform which gives power back to renters! šŖ
š Find other likeminded people looking to rent in the same area as you and rent a vacant place between yourselves
š Find spare rooms and get to know all your future housemates before moving in!
šÆāāļø Renting out a spare room? Find someone who'll vibe with the house
It's also really important to our founder that we support the LGBTQ+ š³ļøāš community so we have some fun filters in the app to help you find inclusive homes!
What do you think?
@chrismessina Great question and thanks for asking! We use two-step verification in the form of a mobile number and government ID matching a selfie. Both are very difficult to falsify.
We consider ourselves different from Spareroom as we really try to hone in on the experience of renting with others rather than listing properties with convoluted bios.
@nik_a ah, but you don't vet people on personality or quality, just based on whether they have authenticated. Mobile numbers are pretty easy to fake, if you're sufficiently motivated.
Re: Spareroom, I was confused because the title of your website is "Spareroom | Redwood.rent".
Exciting solution for the rental market! Tackling the challenges of skyrocketing rent prices and room scarcity in cities like London, (which I've personally experienced) is mandatory nowadays. The feature of connecting renters and facilitating introductions before moving in is a smart move. Kudos and congrats on your launch! š
