"We went out to do a short, sharp raise to put more money in the bank ahead of a large Series B next year. Our month on month growth across every single metric is in the double digit percentages, and has been for 15 months straight. We have the most rental listings of any platform in the US, and we are delivering the only world in which renters can make binding applications on apartments during appointments and open houses from their iPhone or Android devices. This is how this industry will work in a decade, and we're the first to deliver it," stated by Georgiades.
