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.
Baselane is a New York fintech that gives individual real estate investors and landlords a single place to bank, collect rent, and keep their books. Instead of stitching together a legacy bank account, spreadsheets, an accountant, and consumer payment apps, users open property-specific accounts, collect rent by ACH or card, and let AI categorize transactions into tax-ready reports. The company says its 50,000-plus customers move more than $2 billion in annual transactions and save an average of roughly 150 hours and $5,000 a year.
Peek is a New York-based proptech company building an AI-powered leasing platform for multifamily property owners and operators. It brings e-commerce-style shopping to apartment rentals through unit-level 3D tours, self-guided tours, a conversational AI leasing assistant, and prospect analytics - helping operators lease faster and cut vacancy loss. Founded in 2019 by Austin Lo and Chris Kostoulas, Peek raised a $5M Series A in May 2025 and serves a portfolio spanning hundreds of thousands of units across the U.S.
RentRedi is a mobile-first property management platform that gives independent landlords an all-in-one toolkit to collect rent online, list and market vacancies, screen tenants, sign leases, and coordinate maintenance and accounting - while giving renters an app to pay rent, set up auto-pay, build credit, and submit maintenance requests. Founded in 2016 by father-and-son team Ryan and Ed Barone after Ryan's own frustrating apartment hunt in New York City, the company now serves close to 300,000 landlords and renters and manages more than $33 billion in assets.
Hemlane is a San Francisco-based property management platform that blends software automation with on-the-ground human support to help rental owners and small property managers run long-term rentals from anywhere. It handles advertising and listing syndication, tenant screening, online rent collection, lease signing, 24/7 repair coordination and eviction support, and can connect owners with local licensed agents for showings and inspections - positioning itself between do-it-yourself landlord apps and full-service property management firms.
Cobu is a Boston-based proptech company that turns apartment residents into a real community - and turns that community into occupancy. Its resident-powered, AI-enabled platform runs building-wide chats, interest groups, in-person events, and always-on Google review and referral outreach, backed by a team of virtual community managers. For renters it fights isolation; for owners and operators it drives signed leases, higher renewals, better online reputation, and less busywork for on-site teams. Founded in 2018 as Doorbell, Cobu is used across dozens of U.S. states and by many of the country's largest multifamily operators.
Nutiliti is a software-plus-service utility management platform that lets property managers and owners hand off the tedious work of turning utilities on and off, retrieving and paying bills, billing tenants back, and reconciling the accounting. Founded in 2020, the company pairs a REST API and dashboard with dedicated human account managers, aiming to collapse work that once took 80-plus hours a month into a couple of hours while protecting portfolio NOI. It serves single-family, multifamily, and commercial operators across the United States.
Nick Whalley is the co-founder and CEO of Nutiliti, a utility management platform that handles the unglamorous but expensive work of turning power, water, and gas on and off across rental portfolios. A Dartmouth-trained engineer who spent three years on Goldman Sachs's electronic trading desk before leaving in 2020 to build software for property managers, Whalley runs a company whose pitch is blunt: manage properties, not utilities. Nutiliti automates activations, deactivations, bill payment, and accounting reconciliation, and exposes it all through a REST API so single-family rental and build-to-rent operators can stop drowning in utility paperwork.
Leonardo247 is a cloud-based, mobile-first property operations and maintenance platform built for the multifamily real estate industry. Its software - often referred to as 'Leo' - pushes daily tasks, workflows, inspections, preventative maintenance and compliance procedures to onsite teams so nothing slips through the cracks. Founded in 2014 by industry veteran Daniel Cunningham after a building he managed lost hot water due to a missed maintenance step, the company now counts half of the nation's ten largest multifamily owners and operators among its customers and has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies.
Revela is a Detroit-based proptech company building an all-in-one property management platform that fuses double-entry, GAAP-grade accounting with leasing, maintenance, payments, reporting, and embedded banking. Founded in 2014 by Grant Drzyzga and bootstrapped for nearly a decade before raising a $9M Series A in 2023, Revela aims to bring liquidity and modern software to a historically low-margin, fragmented industry, serving managers of single-family, multifamily, affordable, commercial, and student housing across hundreds of thousands of units.

Grant Drzyzga is the founder and CEO of Revela, a Detroit-based property management software company he started in 2014 with $50,000 and no real estate experience. After bootstrapping for roughly nine and a half years, he raised a $9 million Series A led by FirstMark Capital in November 2023. Revela now serves more than 200,000 units and has become one of the largest lenders to property managers in cities like Detroit, St. Louis, and Gary. Drzyzga's pitch is that real estate software should be built 'from the books out' - accounting first - and that embedded financial services can bring liquidity to a market that has long been low-margin and illiquid.
Ken McDonald is the CEO of Leonardo247, a Plano, Texas proptech company whose proactive operations and maintenance software runs across more than 2 million rental units. A Stanford MBA and Dartmouth math-and-economics grad, he has spent 25-plus years turning small online businesses into large ones - scaling LifePics from a few thousand users to 12 million, helping push TeamSnap past 15 million users as Chief Growth Officer, and running dozens of SaaS and payments products as Chief Product Officer at Togetherwork. He co-wrote 'How to Acquire Your First Million Customers' and now applies an operator-first view of AI to the unglamorous world of apartment maintenance.
