1/ We are excited to share that the Subletter web app is now live and available here at . Users can post their sublet and view sublets based on budget and schedule. Subletter helps people find sublets and short-term accommodation.
By the end of this year, our users will be able to find housing/roommates within 24 to 48 hours of creating a Flashmates account. Pinning this tweet to come back on December 31st, 2023 to share updates on our progress on this.
3/ This led to the launch of Subletter bots, where we had bots that would amplify sublet requests and offerings from San Francisco, New York City, London and Toronto. The bots helped us build a community and an audience in the above mentioned cities.
4/ We then conducted in person user interviews in New York City, San Francisco and Bangalore which helped us gain more insights about sublets and the short-term accommodation market in these cities.
We turn 1 today. We are on a mission to make it easier for anyone to find housing & roommates in a safer, faster & efficient way. We are not perfect however strive to create as much value as we can and listen to our users. Here’s to many more.
One year ago on this day, I incorporated Flashmates as a legal entity & converted it from a side-project to an actual company. We officially complete a year today. Happy birthday

Thank you

for all the support on this journey.
2/ We started Subletter earlier this year as we had a lot of users who were looking for short-term housing however our platform at the time was not designed for such users and there were many people who were tweeting about their sublet needs on Twitter at the time.
8 billion people on earth yet you still can’t find the ideal roommate 🥲.
Worry not, we are here to help. Visit & post your request for a roommate as a listing.
7/ To those who want to sublet their place can do so by visiting . We deeply appreciate feedback and recommend users to reach out if they face any issues as we are platform that highly values making progress over chasing perfection.
5/ While the bots helped in amplifying sublet requests and offering, it had its own limitations preventing us from creating value on a much larger scale. This is why we launched a web app for Subletter. Users can now post their sublet offerings directly on Subletter.
6/ This platform is ideal for people who travel a lot for work and those who visit a city for attending a program/cohort that lasts for a month. For example, if you are attending

@ycombinator
or
