Our Mission Our mission is to make the process of finding flat-mates easier and more efficient. We believe in the significance of finding the right match when sharing an apartment and in its influence on people’s life, naming among others, time, money, and energy. We will turn the process of sharing an apartment into a happier experience.
The idea… • A social network that provides profiles for people looking for flat-mates • It will be for the following purposes: • 1- people looking for potential flat-mates before finding apartments • 2- people trying to find a flat-mate to enter the apartment in which they live at the moment • 3- people trying to enter an apartment with flat-mates already living there • For the sake of privacy, profiles activity can be limited according to a traffic light system: red: not looking for flat-mate at the moment, yellow: open to the possibilities, green: actively looking for roommates. • The profile will have a one-paragraph description and each person will complete a “roommate personality questionnaire” developed by us that will reveal the following info: cleanliness, social habits, schedule (night-day person), average time at home, pets, smoking habits, religion, food preferences (vegan, kosher), sharing policies (toiletries, kitchen supplies, food, laundry), tolerance, etc. • We will develop an algorithm that matches profiles according to a percentage of matching points.
More of the idea… • The portal will also have the possibility to rate your current or past landlord (this is a major issue on renting apartments today) • It will be the first public register of landlords • Will be as the GetTaxi rate your driver application
