Castle 做什么

Castle manages rental homes for landlords using automation and on-demand labor. We find tenants, collect rent, and coordinate maintenance, allowing owners to kick back, relax, and never worry about their rental properties again. Owners either have to deal with this whole mess themselves, or spend 10% of their rental income on a traditional property management company that requires constant supervision and is often incentivized to act against the owner’s best interest. There are 43 million rental units in the United States, and most of them are currently managed with some combination of faxes, mail, and unreturned voicemails on the landlord’s personal phone. Castle moves all of property management into a seamless online experience, providing owners with transparency, speed, and incredible customer service - plus huge cost savings over traditional management. Renters get great service and instant updates about important issues.

Manages rental homes with automation and labor

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that automates property management tasks for rental home owners. Castle finds tenants, collects rent, and coordinates maintenance through a combination of software and an on-demand network of labor. It removes the hassle of managing rentals and cuts costs compared to traditional property managers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Detroit, MI, and after YC the company would remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Detroit is a large rental market with many landlords dealing with inefficient management methods. Being here keeps us close to our early users and the team is local, which helps with recruiting and operational logistics.
