Revestor is in the business of helping real estate investors find profitable properties to rent out at short-term rentals or as long-term rentals, and also help identify opportunities to flip properties for quick profits. Bill, are you ready to take us to the top?
Let's go to the top.
Dude, I'm a huge Empire fan just because I love watching the psychology that show has with, you know, Cookie going after, you know, the other side. I'm jealous of your last name. You're a lion.
Thank you, man.
All right. Tell us what the business is and how you make money.
So Rivester, we were on Shark Tank in 2012 and got blasted. It was fun. But today we're focusing on short-term rentals, on how Airbnb can help people make money. So it's a huge frenzy. People are just literally running to buy Airbnb properties. Millennials, older people, and that's what we help them do. We provide actionable and intelligent data for them to make good decisions.
