RentMatch is a startup aiming to revolutionize the rental experience with its comprehensive apartment ratings and reviews service. Founded in 2010, the company's slogan "Avoid renter's remorse with comprehensive apartment reviews and ratings" encapsulates its mission to spare prospective tenants the frustration of moving into an unsuitable living space.
Utilizing user-generated content and data from public sources, including city and county governments, RentMatch provides renters with detailed information about properties before signing a lease. This innovative approach sets the company apart from traditional rental listing sites.
Interestingly, RentMatch has taken a collaborative approach by partnering with established platforms such as Craigslist, Rent.com, and MyNewPlace, instead of competing against them. Functioning similarly to TripAdvisor, the company funnels leads to these sites, offering a unique value proposition.
The most recent investment in RentMatch was a Seed Round investment from Acequia Capital (AceCap) on 01 December 2011. This funding is indicative of investor confidence in the company's potential within the Finance, Prop Tech, and Real Estate sectors.
