Truvi
Truvi (formerly Superhog) is a London-based technology company that helps vacation-rental property managers and hosts screen guests and protect their properties across every booking channel. Its platform combines ID verification and biometric checks, background and sex-offender screening, customizable damage protection of up to $1 million per booking, and a dedicated claims team - letting operators drop traditional security deposits while building trust between owners and guests. Founded in 2019 and led by CEO Humphrey Bowles, the company serves 800+ property managers globally and raised £5.5M in Series A funding in 2023.
Summer
Summer is a New York proptech company that builds SummerOS, asset-management software for short-term rental operators. After starting as an asset-heavy 'own a vacation home without the risk' model, the Airbnb-alumni team pivoted to SaaS, crunching market data and a property's own performance to tell operators exactly what to fix, raise, or rethink. It aims to bring professional-grade, data-driven tools - long standard in commercial real estate - to the fragmented $125B short-term rental market.
