I spoke with the @sfstandard about the reality of renting in SF during these times and why I feel more motivated than ever to make apartment hunting less terrible with TAP.

Honored to be featured in the @sfchronicle discussing why fewer young San Franciscans are living with roommates.
After years of helping renters, I've seen the shift firsthand. More people want independence, but those looking for roommates have fewer trusted ways to find them.

One of the most common messages I've received since launching my app was:
"Do you have an Android app yet?"
Today, the answer is YES 🎉 TAP is officially live on iOS & Android.
We're building an AI platform helping renters discover, relocate, & start their next chapter!

If you’re not using social media to grow your startup, you’re missing out.
I launched my consumer marketplace app 2 months ago and we’ve hit 8,000 downloads with $0 spent on marketing!
Stop overthinking and start posting.

Had the best time sharing the future of apartment search at the Artifact Festival @fdotinc 💛
We launched The Apartment Plug just two weeks ago, and we’ve already surpassed 2,000 downloads!!

The amount of people who came up to my booth at @fdotinc and said, “Wait… I actually need this. I’m downloading it right now” was unreal.

We built (TAP) The Apartment Plug, because apartment search shouldn’t feel like a second job.
Scroll → Book → Tour.
No back-and-forth emails. No “is this still available?”
Now live on the App Store!!

coming to sf made me realize most founders have the same problem
they can build anything but can't get anyone to use it
the gap isn't product. it's distribution.
every conversation at every event comes back to "how do i get customers"
that's what we're building for
We didn’t wait for the “perfect” launch moment.
The second we were approved on the App Store, we went live.
Building in public means shipping fast.
This unit is live on The Apartment Plug app, where renters can discover listings through video.

BTS of a day building TAP🤭
Marketplaces live and die by supply, so a huge part of my day is focused on onboarding & supporting listing partners.
We’re building TAP to make apartment hunting feel as easy as scrolling your favorite feed.

Every Friday, founders go on stage and share what they got done this week, what their goals are for next week, and where they need help.
We call it ship it.
