RentBetter is an Australian proptech company that gives everyday landlords the same tools and services real estate agents use to lease and manage residential property - advertising, tenant screening, digital leases, rent collection, inspections and maintenance - in one online platform, at a fraction of a traditional property manager's cost. Founded in Sydney in 2016 by Jeremy Goldschmidt, it targets the roughly 2.2 million Australians who own investment property and want to self-manage without paying ongoing management fees.
Ryan Barone is the co-founder, CEO, and CTO of RentRedi, a New York-based property management platform he started in 2016 after failing to secure an apartment because gathering application documents was miserable. RentRedi now serves nearly 200,000 landlords and renters, manages tens of billions in assets, and has raised more than $17M across seed and Series A rounds. Barone still writes code, still runs the company, and still argues that landlord software should not feel like a spreadsheet with a login.
