The Market • A total of 7.2 million US workers each year require short-term, temporary housing • Industries include: • 2.8 million blue collar jobs • 1.5 million interns • 3 million migrant workers • All workers require a place to live
The Problems • 1) No site deals with this specific market – all others deal with individual to individual transactions over indefinite time frames • Zillow is similar, but only deals in the singular • 2) No site deals specifically with this definite but short time frame • Airbnb deals with too short of a time frame • Zillow deals with too long of a time frame • 3) No site connects employers with homeowners
The Solution • HouseMyTemp.com – eCommerce solutions for the temporary housing market
How We Do It • Simple platform to match owners, renters and sub-letters with companies looking for “bulk housing” • Databases would allow for very specific searches, e.g. within a certain radius of a location, certain price range, etc • Social media integration to spread the word
Value Proposition • Employers • Makes it feasible for employers to provide summer housing for interns • Makes job offerings more desirable • Homeowners • Makes it easier to match tenants with their properties • Allows stability from year to year • Employees • Eliminates arduous process of finding summer housing
