The Company
Findigs is on a mission to make residential leasing faster and fairer. Moving into a new rental should be neither opaque, nor a clunky experience. Backed by tier-1 investors across venture capital and real-estate, we're looking for passionate and bright individuals to make an out-sized impact at a rapidly growing startup.
We've started by rethinking the rental application and screening processes from the ground up. Since launching our product, we've seen surging demand from building operators looking to use tech to make their leasing better. Every day, our technology plays a role in deciding where people live. Housing (shelter) is essential, so we have a responsibility and mandate to get it right. Findigs does not just make it easier to apply or be evaluated for a new place - we are committed to making the process more transparent, inclusive, equitable and awesome.
