Bob.ai is a marketplace for landlords, renters, and agencies tasked with providing low-income families and individuals with affordable housing. Any agency can list their approved vouchers or program slots. Any landlord or property manager can list rental units anywhere in the USA. Bob.ai matches the renters with the units. Once the match between the renter and the landlord is made the landlord is able to generate the RFTA (request for tenancy approval) and HAP (housing assistance payment) contract online and sign them electronically. Tenants are also able to sign the RFTA electronically either using a web app or on their mobile phone. There are 27,000 landlords with at least one HAP unit rented on the Bob.ai platform. By streamlining the RFTA and Inspections process for the landlords the Bob.ai team is attempting to significantly change landlord outcomes for our renters in the short run and increase the pool of landlords who participate in assisted rental programs in the long term. With these goals in mind agencies on the Bob.ai platform run landlord events educating existing and new landlords on assisted rental programs.

We want to try a concept that we call product-based growth. That means that we want to use the product to give tools to existing landlords to help them expand their business to other public housing authorities and by that also grow our business. The students may help in defining what is the right approach to the landlords and to help us figure out which types of landlords to target first.

We can offer weekly or bi-weekly calls and answer emails daily.
