roommatch pitch deck (seed funding)
DESCRIPTION
RoomMatch is an online roommate and apartment search site. We are an alternative solution to the conventional apartment search. RoomMatch brings people together based on mutual friends and interests, which we gather from Facebook, and give users a basis for finding a great apartment with a great roommate...or roommates! RoomMatch is an Austin, Texas based startup and was created by co-founders Elliott Counts and Uday Adhikari. It is our belief that, by turning the conventional apartment search method on its head with RoomMatch, people will finally have an opportunity to "live without compromise."TRANSCRIPT

Limited supply of studios/1 bedrooms have caused a spike in price.
Apartment construction is slow and can’t keep up with demand.
Problem
No solution for finding roommates prior to finding an apartment.
Half of all U.S. renters today pay more than 30 percent of their incomes on rent.
The national apartment vacancy rate fell 0.1 percentage point to 4.2%, the lowest it’s been since 2001.
