Overview
Fully Digital Rental Experience
Despite so many other industries having been successfully disrupted in recent years (retail, social media, transportation), the home rental space lacks comparable innovation. The process of long-term rentals still results in frustration and lost time for both the homeowners and tenants. There has not yet been a technological disruption significant enough to usher in a new – and better – way to rent.
Here at Rentberry, we aim to change that!
Media Coverage
Renting Done Right. Finally.
Rentberry is the first global home rental platform that makes the long-term rental process transparent and safe - offering a contactless rental experience, and helping properties realize their true market price.
Our patented technology allows tenants to submit custom offers and potentially save $87 billion on move-in costs that are currently blocked as rental security deposits.
The Problem
The Home Rental Market Needs Innovation
Most listings still come in the form of simple, online classified ads - providing limited rental experience, and essentially no value in terms of the application process or day-to-day rental management.
Additionally, tenants freeze billions of dollars on rental deposits every time they rent. There is no internationally recognized insurance or savings that could be applied to the quality tenants.
The Solution
Renting Done Right. Finally!
Rentberry streamlines the entire long-term rental process, eliminating the need for a middleman, such as agents and brokers. The platform offers landlords and tenants a contact-free, transparent and automated means of renting properties. And most importantly, Rentberry helps unfreeze millions of dollars tied up rental security deposits.
The Market
Renting is the New Buying
Home renting has become an economic and lifestyle choice for 41% of Americans, 56% of the Swiss, and 40% of Germans, to name just a few countries. Currently, there are over 641 million rental units worldwide and around 2.3 billion people living in long-term rentals.
The market is massive, and only getting bigger!

What We Do
Rentberry Umbrella
Rentberry developed technology that disrupts the residential and senior housing rental markets.
Rentberry platform, the company's main product, is a home rental solution designed to make the rental process less costly, more convenient, and secure.
Happy Seniors platform, which is 100% owned by the company, designed to help making the lives of millions of senior people more social and engaging, as well as keep them connected to their loved ones
Flexible Living concept - designed to allow Millennials to work and travel from various locations.
The Vision
The Future is Here - Flexible Living
In 2021, Rentberry will establish a new trend that will allow people to live and work from home at various locations in what we believe will be a much cost-efficient way than renting Airbnb/hotel and without entering into the long term contracts and freezing thousands in security deposits. This new trend will be called “Flexible Living”.
There are 82M millennials in the US alone, and 1.8B Worldwide - they are the biggest generation in US history.
COVID-19 will have a lasting impact on the work environment - allowing a large number of millennials to work from home, and giving them the freedom to travel and work from various locations.
The Company plans to acquire properties throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia and onboard homeowners to serve the mid-term rental space. The properties will have digital locks, will be managed without agents and brokers, and will be exclusively rented via Rentberry platform.
The Business Model
Freemium Revenue Model
$7 billion yearly market opportunity in the US alone.
Additional revenue includes: enterprise clients, sale of insurance products and leads to moving companies, as well as, revenue from the Flexible Living business model and Happy Seniors platform.

Q&A Session Takeaway Points
8 days agoOur CEO Oleksiy Lubinsky held another Q&A session where he discussed the fundraising campaign, the platform's technology and and the goals for 2022 and beyond.
For those of you who were unable to join us, please find the summary of the Q&A Session:
Fundraising Campaign on StartEngine
We already successfully raised 70% of the $12.4M capital raise goal. Based on the strong momentum, we expect to finalize the raise in just several months.
Flexible Living
Our goal is to launch the Flexible Living project this year. Rentberry began as a fully digital long-term rental platform, but we were inspired by the needs of digital nomads, students, and other groups with mid-term rental needs. We see strong market potential around this, and we believe Flexible Living will perfectly complement the fully digital renting experience we already offering to our users.
Financial Update
The company went through yearly audit (Rentberry audits all its financials since the inception). The results will be publicly available in May once published to EDGAR.
Exit Strategy
About a year ago, we were contacted by number of companies who were interested in the possible acquisition of Rentberry. However, we feel like there is still a lot of potential for the platform to grow, so it will remain not for sale for now. We do think the company has potential for being sold or going IPO some time down the road. However, this decision will be made after further discussion with shareholders.
Sources of Revenue
Although we aim to put growth before becoming a self-sustainable company, for the time being, we have already started monetizing Rentberry and are constantly looking and open to new revenue sources. As of today, paid services include property promotion, tenant screening, and renters insurance, as well as charging our partners for the placement of their properties on our platform.
There are a few revenue sources we are strongly considering now and which we might implement in the near future. Examples include selling leads to providers and local businesses and charging for third-party services. Our revenue goal is $5M in the next twelve months.
Future Fundraising
The current RegA+ on StartEngine won’t be the final fundraising round for Rentberry. Our goal is to continue growing fast, and we envision another capital raise 12 to 14 months after the end of the current investment campaign.
We’re still working on the details, such as the timing and the platform where it will take place, but we plan for a higher valuation based on our goals and what the company has achieved already. The campaign will most likely be open to individuals, qualified investors, and VC funds. But, we would recommend all individual investors to get in now on StartEngine.

15 days agoOur business development team never slows down! Today, we’d like to welcome our latest partner in Australia — FindAds, which has a great section dedicated to rental properties.

And that’s what we work on continuously — a quick and hassle-free experience for everyone involved!
