The Problem

Short-term rentals were sold as passive income. But in reality, every Airbnb is a tiny hotel and a nightmare of operations. Every reservation restarts the operational clock: prices must be adjusted, guests screened, messages answered, cleaners scheduled, access coordinated, supplies restocked, and maintenance handled, often overnight or between back-to-back stays.

And in traditional short-term property management companies, operational failures are common, and they can quickly become very costly:

• A missed cleaning becomes a bad review
• A poorly screened guest becomes property damage
• A neglected maintenance issue becomes an issued refund or lost booking

On top of these operational failures, the average management company takes 15–30% of rental revenue, often alongside cleaning, maintenance, and other fees.

We’ve been property managers for the past year and ran into the same lose-lose choice every owner faces: manage a 24/7 hospitality business yourself, or hand over a quarter of your revenue to a management company whose costs increase with every property it adds.

The Solution

We are building a new type of property management company, with infrastructure built for agents and human-computer-interaction from the ground up. By replacing the layers of coordination and operational overhead built into traditional management companies, we provide a much better service at a much lower fee.

We center around a simple premise: owners shouldn’t have to choose between good service and reasonable fees. With our model, owners take home 10–20% more and guests have a more premium experience.

Team

We’re Shaan and Edmond, longtime friends, Duke roommates, and property managers.

Edmond previously built AI voice agents at Rilla, LLM agents at S&P Global, and data pipelines at Vanguard. He has been managing rentals for a year, experiencing the owner’s dilemma firsthand.

Shaan previously designed GPU hardware at Apple, brain-computer interface research at Yale, computer architecture research at Duke. He also has been managing Airbnbs and longer-term rentals for a year and a half.
