Steve Carroll and the trouble with getting a yes
Before Steve Carroll built Findigs, he was a New York renter wondering why getting an apartment was so difficult. A friendship formed at Colby, a stint on Wall Street, and a willingness to change the product brought him to the question he is still trying to answer: who gets approved, and how quickly?
