Rental prices have increased substantially in major metro areas over the last year, forcing more millennials to share rentals. Yoroomie is a marketplace that aims to connect people looking for a shared rental ("roomies") in order to make the process easier. Users can create a profile, search for potential roomies based on location and interests, and message each other. The founders aim to launch initially in Los Angeles and expand to other major cities. They plan to generate revenue through background checks, verified user accounts, rental transaction fees, and sponsored pins and messages.

The Problem
Rental prices continue to increase for a population that is
increasing in size and renting for longer; forcing more
people to share rentals.

3. Yoroomie is a marketplace for shared rentals:
• We don’t just focus on the rental/listing
• We’re interested in connecting people with the right roomie
• Roomies can search for roomies with a place or roomies without a place
• Mobile only and focused on the Millennial

12. Safely Connect with Roomies
Hey John, what's up, looking for a
place in Manhattan?
Hey Sam! Doing great, thanks! Just
signed up to this app : that was fast,
already 2 msgs :) Well I will work in
Soho starting Oct. 1st, so I'm aiming at
a 30mins commute (max). I was
originally looking at brooklyn (bedstuy,
williamsburg...), but if there's such a
thing as an affordable room in
Manhattan itself, why not!
Yah I moved here recently also, I
work in Manhattan and am looking
for a roommate for the place I'm
renting, it's a bit pricey, but what is
your price range?

Will use again!
I’ve experienced the difficulty of trying to find and connect with a potential roommate,
but now with Yoroomie, I’m all set with a friend that understands how I live. Great UX.
Will use again and recommend. Made the move from DTLA to Santa Monica possible.
Super Easy!
Met my new roommate through this app! Simple to use and not a lot of fancy controls
which is my preference. I’ve showed this app to some friends who are looking for
roommates, and they are receiving tons of messages as well.
Love this app!!!!
Great approach to be able to chat with real people and find a match. Most apps just
show places and don’t connect me with cool folks. Great job and looking forward to
more updates and features!!!
