02 · Problem

Sharing a home is the most expensive verbal contract people sign.

No paper trail. No consent record. No dispute path. Rents keep rising faster than wages.

~50% of U.S. renters are cost-burdened.
Under-35s are the fastest-growing share of shared households.
Verbal roommate deals have no jurisdiction hook.

03 · Market

Sharing is the strategy — we make it safe.

Cost-sharing through roommates materially reduces individual rent burden. The affordability gap widens every year.

Convert split-cost leads competitors abandon.
Complex-specific criteria surface in-app — no verbal misfires.
