History

The co-founders, John Kobs and Chris Erickson, launched Apartment List in September 2011 at TechCrunch Disrupt.[3][4][5] They created the company after having negative experiences as both renters and landlords.[6]

In November 2013, the company's first round of funding raised $23 million, with lead investor Matrix Partners.[7] Another round of funding raised $50 million with Passport Capital in November 2017.[8]

In late 2017, Apartment List partnered with Facebook Marketplace,[9] Homes.com,[10] and Realtor.com.[11]

Business Model

Large, professionally-managed properties are charged a variable fee to use its service.[12] Landlords and building managers are connected to potential renters and pay a fee when a renter has moved into their property.[13][3]
