SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Rockstar Guitarist Launches SaaS, Breaks $3.6m in revenue, $30m valuation

Your friends and family walk in.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

When we buy the homes, they're high-end.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Then we also furnish the homes

and with high-end furnishings and hand it over to the owner group, totally turnkey.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

At that point, we manage the property so that we abstract all of the work that comes with a second home away from the ownership group so that they can just enjoy their vacation, but while still retaining that ownership and the asset that can appreciate over time.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

That's the one-eighth ownership.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Rockstar Guitarist Launches SaaS, Breaks $3.6m in revenue, $30m valuation

That's right.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

What that does is it gives you six weeks out of the year at that home.

And if you wanted to be there six months out of the year, you buy half the home instead of one-eighth, which we have some customers who do.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Rockstar Guitarist Launches SaaS, Breaks $3.6m in revenue, $30m valuation

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So for most of our homes on the marketplace, we actually go in and buy the home.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Rockstar Guitarist Launches SaaS, Breaks $3.6m in revenue, $30m valuation

We have a pretty good, um, sense of what our buyers want in their homes.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And, um, so we go buy the home in the first instance, and then we then market the home to, uh, you know, to the buyers.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Um, in this case with the home in, in Palm Springs,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

That's a potential bias.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We have two different categories of homes.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We have homes that are for sale.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So you can look in Newport Beach.

You'll see some there.

Those homes that are for sale are homes that we actually own.
