Rentberry CEO Talks To Benzinga About Revolutionizing The Rental Experience

Rentberry

Interested in investing in Rentberry’s crowdfunding campaign? Click here to get started! Benzinga spoke with Rentberry Inc. ’s CEO Oleksiy Lubinsky about the company’s history and where it is going. Here is what Lubinsky had to say: Benzinga: What was the inspiration for Rentberry? When Lubinsky and his coworkers worked on their previous startup CityHour, they experienced the full force of a broken rental system in Silicon Valley. “It took us 28 days to find housing, and the rental platforms we had to go through had primitive functionality,” Lubinsky said. The reality reported in some parts of the rental world is there is a lack of transparency and the process is not streamlined — there is little automation, and nearly everything is manual. Lubinsky said he wanted to create a platform that provides transparency for renters and connects them to landlords in an easy and seamless way. Rentberry was a solution to a problem all too common for anyone who’s ever rented. Benzinga: What sets your platform apart from other platforms like Zillow or Trulia? Rentberry is a platform where all rental tasks can be done in one place. There is no need to wait on a landlord to complete each step. On a platform like Zillow, everything is manual. You have to call or email the landlord on a listing you like, and then there is a lot of back and forth. Rentberry eliminates this nuisance. Lubinsky explained that they built the platform with users in mind. A user uploads all of their necessary documentation to the platform so all rental tasks can be done in one place. The landlord can also easily see all applicants and manage next steps online. The platform was created to save renters time, money and stress. Another aspect that sets Rentberry apart is the transparency the platform promotes. On Rentberry, an applicant can see how many applications have been submitted for a listing as well as other pertinent information. For example, an applicant can see whether a competing applicant has offered more money, is a smoker, has roommates or pets and more. By providing renters with this information, they have more power to negotiate and choose their properties wisely. Benzinga: How does Rentberry fit into the current and future landscape of real estate? Lubinsky shared that more people will rent than buy in the near future. He explained that the real estate landscape is going through an “uberization process.” Just as people are relying less on cars with the advent of platforms like Uber, people will be looking more toward renting than buying property. “Between the upkeep of a home and things like property taxes, it can be a hassle to own a home,” he said. Even when people buy homes, Lubinsky said he believes it will be later in life after a longer period of renting. Because of this, it was important to his team to create a user-friendly rental platform. More people are also yearning for mid-term rentals. In a world of digital nomads and people working from home, not to mention people who frequently travel for education or work, the need for mid-term rentals is on the rise. Rentberry will offer a Flexible Living option on its platform. The Flexible Living feature is for people who are looking for contracts between three and 12 months. Rental properties that are part of this program require no security deposit and are fully furnished. These properties are ideal for someone who “knows they are going to be in Miami for three months and then onto Los Angeles for four months after,” Lubinsky said. “An Airbnb is too expensive for long-term rentals, and people shouldn’t have to risk breaking their leases to secure housing.” One of the aspects of Rentberry Lubinsky is so proud of is the platform’s user acquisition. Because the platform allows users to store documentation, make monthly payments and request maintenance all in one place, people stay on Rentberry. Users’ tenant profiles allow them to find housing during their next move more easily. This is especially helpful for people who are frequently moving. Benzinga: What’s on the horizon for Rentberry? Lubinsky explains that Rentberry is looking to expand into commercial real estate and the senior housing industry. “The senior housing industry is broken,” he said. It’s rife with hidden fees and an overwhelming lack of transparency. Children, who are often the ones burdened with finding a favorable living situation for their parents, are often searching in the dark for rental properties. Rentberry hopes to bring transparency and usability to senior housing and commercial real estate. Benzinga: Can you describe your crowdfunding raise? Rentberry is hosting a crowdfunding raise through Oct. 28. The company is looking to raise $12.4 million and now has raised over $11 million of its goal from about 6,500 investors. The company has already raised over $21 million from the top venture capital funds and recognized angel investors from Google, McKinsey & Co., CBRE and Harvard Business School Alumni Angels. Lubinsky mentioned that there was also an equity bonus available to all investors. By contributing $10,000, investors can receive up to 20% in bonus shares. Rentberry is the first closed-loop platform that makes the long-term rental process transparent and safe, offers contactless rental experience, and helps properties realize their true market price. Its patented technology allows tenants to submit custom offers and potentially save $87 billion on move-in costs that are currently blocked as rental security deposits.

Legal & General Capital secures first US science and technology real estate projects

Legal & General

As part of its business plan to internationalize, Legal & General Capital (LGC) has secured its first US science and technology projects through its newly formed joint venture, Ancora L&G. Earlier this year, LGC formed Ancora L&G with US-based real estate developer, Ancora, to create a real estate platform dedicated to driving science and technology growth across the US. Through an initial seed capital investment of $500 million from LGC, Ancora L&G will be capitalized to deliver $4 billion of existing US pipeline and planned acquisition and development activity over the next five years. Legal & General Group currently manages over $1.8 trillion of assets globally and is increasing its presence in the US for both equity and debt vehicles. The new joint venture builds on the successful track record of Ancora’s team and the investing record of LGC in the UK, including over $5 billion currently committed to science and technology development projects at Oxford and Manchester universities. Marking the first acquisition for the new partnership, Ancora L&G has acquired 387 Technology Circle NW, a 128,000 sq. ft. Class A life science/lab building in the Science Square Innovation District adjacent to Georgia Institute of Technology’s (GeorgiaTech) campus in Atlanta, Georgia. The project meets its ambition to invest in and build a premium portfolio of science and technology assets in emerging US markets, in partnership with high quality anchor institutions. Atlanta is a top 25 US life science cluster market with strong forecast growth over the next 10 years. Georgia Tech’s capabilities in research and commercialization, the emerging life sciences/tech industry in Atlanta, and its economic dynamism, make for strong demand indicators at site. The asset is currently leased and occupied by four tenants: Georgia Tech, CardioMEMS, Kemira Chemicals, and VERO Biotech. The opportunity to acquire the asset was secured through a competitive process run by Eastdil Secured. Wes Erlam, Managing Director of Urban Regeneration, Legal & General Capital said: “As LGC drives forward its ambition to internationalize, it is a testament to the business’s investment appetite and the quality of our teams that we have secured our first projects just months after forming the new Ancora L&G joint venture. The development in Georgia is an exemplar of the types of projects we will look to invest in, located in areas of significant growth potential with high quality anchor institutions as key stakeholders in each project. They build significant momentum for future growth of the Ancora L&G partnership, while laying the groundwork for LGC’s wider US expansion.” The US is the world’s largest real estate market at c.$9 trillion in value. However, the lab real estate market in particular comprises only 166 million sq. ft. - one of the smallest sectors among other commercial asset classes. This lack of scale creates high barriers to entry for investors and it has been particularly challenging for tenants to grow due to scarcity of supply. Legal & General’s ability to access this opportunity via Ancora sets it apart from other sources of institutional capital seeking to participate in the market. LGC has a strong track record of establishing and scaling up innovative businesses and has led the way in driving science and technology growth through its Bruntwood SciTech partnership, the UK’s leading developer of innovation districts. Bruntwood SciTech has quickly expanded over 11 UK locations, a model LGC will look to replicate across the US in partnership with Ancora. In line with this ambition, Ancora L&G has recently been selected as the preferred developer of a public health laboratory in Providence. An 80,000 sq. ft state-of-the-art laboratory, funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, will anchor the project and Brown University has also signed a letter of intent to lease 20,000 sq. ft of private laboratory space. Josh Parker, CEO Ancora L&G, said: “We are delighted to announce these key projects. Our outcome-focused vision is central to the effective deployment of our team’s expertise, and the long duration capital we can invest, to meet the needs of our clients. These projects are an excellent start to our partnership with Legal & General, with the addition of new lab space and our backing by two such established anchor institutions, Brown and Georgia Tech. With the appetite for more investment and building of new sites, we look forward to a positive momentum for our growth plans across the US and the expansion of innovation centers, enabling more communities to benefit from the considerable biotech research and development opportunities.” To support future growth of Ancora L&G, LGC is seeking third party co-investment partners to grow the business at scale. As with a number of LGC investments, LGC aims to finance longer term cashflows by using them to back its annuity business, providing better value for policyholders and greater financing for investors. Notes to editors About Legal & General Capital Legal & General Capital (LGC) is Legal & General Group’s alternative asset platform, creating assets for Legal & General Retirement and third-party clients in order to achieve improved risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders. LGC has built its market leading capabilities in a range of alternative assets, delivering depth of resource, track record and intellectual property. Investing in the real economy and creating alternative assets that deliver a tangible societal impact, its purpose is to invest society’s capital for society’s benefit. L&G has invested around £30 billion ($37 million) in levelling-up regional UK economies and has strong track record in investing in technology and life sciences. LGC’s investments include: residential property; specialist commercial real estate; clean energy; alternative credit; and venture capital. As LGC’s capability to create alternative assets continues to grow, it will not only continue to grow its balance sheet of alternative assets but also create alternative assets for third party investors.

Tribevest

Tribevest, the leaders in community finance and group investing, announced it raised over $875,000 at a $20 million valuation through a fundraising round that closed this month via Wefunder.

Long-Term Rental Startup Rentberry Raises Capital To Develop A Flexible Living Platform For Digital Nomads

Rentberry

A new app catering to digital nomads is in the works from pioneer long-term rental startup Rentberry. Launched in 2017, the San Francisco-based startup has raised more than $22 million in capital from investors to fund its patented long-term rental platform that digitizes the entire process from property search to rental management. Rentberry is raising an additional $12.4 million through the crowdfunding platform StartEngine. That, along with the $22 million already raised, will help fund the company’s expansion, including the development of a new Flexible Living concept. Built on the existing Rentberry platform, Flexible Living will offer high-quality, fully furnished long-term rentals in the hottest cities around the globe. The concept is aimed at the growing ranks of work-from-home millennials and digital nomads looking to make the most of the freedom in their new flexible work schedules. Rentberry’s Patented Mid-Term Rental Technology Delivers A Transparent, Streamlined Rental Process The current Rentberry platform already boasts 24 million properties across 137,000 locations serving over 8 million users. For tenants, it offers a fully digital and transparent way to search for properties, submit applications, pay rent and submit maintenance requests — all in one app. For landlords, Rentberry streamlines the application, screening and rental management process from end to end so they can do everything from listing their properties to handling service requests on one intuitive platform. Flexible Living Will Offer A Mid-Term Friendly Version of Rentberry’s Platform The rapidly growing population of digital nomads is overwhelmingly made up of millennials ( 44% ) and Gen Z adults (21%). This interest looks set to grow even further; a survey found that more than 80% of millennials are interested in learning more about the digital nomad lifestyle. These younger professionals crave flexibility and freedom in the places they rent, but so far, few rental services can deliver. Short-term rental platforms like Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ: ABNB) or Expedia Group Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: EXPE) VRBO offer fully-furnished properties that feel more like home than a hotel room, but high daily rates make them costly for longer stays. At the same time, long-term rental platforms like Zillow Group Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: ZG) Trulia or Craigslist don’t offer an easy way to find furnished mid-term rentals and lack many of the digital features that Rentberry offers to streamline the entire application and rental process. To deliver a solution that better meets the needs of young professionals, Rentberry is working on acquiring properties throughout Europe, Asia and the United States — as well as onboarding homeowners to list their properties on the Flexible Living platform — that it can then rent out exclusively through its website on three- to 12-month leases that have no security deposit requirement. The high-quality properties will be equipped with digital locks and fully furnished with work-from-home millennials in mind. With this latest round of funding on StartEngine ending Oct. 28, Rentberry hopes to have the new Flexible Living concept operational in 2023. Rentberry is the first closed-loop platform that makes the long-term rental process transparent and safe, offers contactless rental experience, and helps properties realize their true market price. Its patented technology allows tenants to submit custom offers and potentially save $87 billion on move-in costs that are currently blocked as rental security deposits.

Volatus Aerospace Expands into UK with the Acquisition of iRed® Remote Sensing, a Leading Thermographic Survey Company

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV: VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") announced today that it has signed an arm’s length definitive agreement dated Oct 17, 2022 to acquire iRed Limited, a drone services and training company based in Emsworth, England (“iRed”). This acquisition provides a foundation for continued growth in the region and reinforces Volatus’ overall thermographic capabilities. “We began our expansion in the UK earlier this year with the addition of a seasoned business development executive, Steve Emerson, to build our presence and provide regional leadership. iRed is an established brand with a solid base of resources from which to grow that will enhance our global capabilities in thermography,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Thermography is in high demand in verticals like public safety, forestry, infrastructure, and agriculture. These use cases are only growing as drone capabilities mature and there is higher demand to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through early detection via thermographic imaging.” Founded in 2001, iRed started as a company specialized in infrared technologies, training, and services. While infrared training and inspection remains a core competency of the company, the advent of drones provided enhanced opportunity for thermography, which ultimately led to the expansion of the company into a variety of drone related services, equipment sales, and a diversified customer base. iRed is targeting year-end revenues of $1M with an EBITDA margin of 7%. “I’m very proud of what iRed has accomplished over the past 20 years,” said Ray Faulkner, President of iRed. “Joining Volatus will provide us with the resources necessary to take our company to the next level. We look forward to expanding our product offering, growing our service business, and pushing our training programs to the larger global market. Volatus Aerospace shares our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, and we look forward to what we can accomplish together.” Under the terms of the agreement, Volatus will make an equity investment of £100K in iRed in exchange for newly issued shares (treasury shares) that will represent 51% of all outstanding shares. The investment will be used by iRed for ongoing expansion activities. The transaction is scheduled to close October 31 st, subject to board of director, regulatory, and TSX approvals. Volatus will assume over all long-term debt obligations of £221K and the seller is subject to operational and financial metric as defined in the definitive agreement, at one year anniversary, the iRed investor(s) will have an option to sell remaining 49% for up to £125K in exchange of Volatus shares at a valuation of $0.65 per share or 12 months anniversary price, whichever is lower.
