Zumper
Zumper is an apartment rental website which enables its users to search through real, live-time listings in New York City and San Francisco. Zumper's available apartment inventory is displayed on a map or in a curated news feed. The company was founded in 2012 by Anthemos Georgiades and Taylor Glass-Moore, both from real-estate backgrounds, when they teamed up with Russell Middleton and Leah Jones, both former software engineers at Google. Zumper launched in September 2012 at the annual TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco where they made it to the Final of the Battlefield competition. The company has launched in New York City and San Francisco, and has announced plans to expand to Chicago next.
Funding
The company raised a $1 million dollar seed round from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, CrunchFund, New Enterprise Associates, Dawn Capital, The Experiment Fund, and the deWilde family trust.
Features
Listings are carved up by neighborhood and can be searched by map or curated news feed. Renters are able to fill out financial profiles to attach to their inquiries to brokers, property managers, and landlords.
