The Company:
Vacayo offers landlords a new and more effective way to rent their properties. Their tech-powered solution is fee-less, and they both lease and furnish your vacation rental property -- in under 72 hours. From cleaning the space to guest communication, Vacayo takes care of everything. First, they pay you rent upfront to become your tenant. Then, they lease your property to high-quality, short-term tenants who they carefully screen. Their secret sauce is their “superhosts,” who are local hospitality experts with the highest ratings on Airbnb. Superhosts serve as independent contractors and have helped Vacayo find the success its had. So far, they’ve earned a revenue of $1.3M, raised $800,000 in 2017, and have an alumni of, and are backed by, 500 Startups. Landlords can control everything from the Vacayo platform, including multiple properties, so they can worry less about renting...and more about enjoying the income from renters instead.

The Bottom Line:
The average rental sits empty for 45 days a year. Think about all that lost income! Vacayo takes care of that (and everything else) for you, meaning that you can rent stress free...while still reaping all the benefits.
