Stayawhile just announced $1.5M in funding from NEA, Founders Fund, and Global Founders Capital to offer housing to people looking for something longer than Airbnb but shorter than typical 1 year leases. I have teammates and friends that have been looking for a solution like this and it fits with the growing popularity of nomad living and a younger generation of non-home buyers (because of avocados, right?). While more convenient to move into a furnished home, it's very expensive at $1k/week and up (granted, in some of the most expensive cities in the world such as SF and NY). Is there a path to making this more affordable, @JanineYorio? I'm also curious to hear @levelsio's POV on this.

@rrhoover 🥑 also check out Flip for long term sublets. They're coming off of a $2.2 m raise.

$1,000 a week? Maybe I can afford that when I've got $1.5m in funding for my startup. Or I should stop eating avocados and spend on accommodation instead... :P

@aftabarab I hear you loud and clear. Our vision is to bring the cost down over time by finding Stayawhile locations in less expensive neighborhoods and in buildings that are more modest, but we are launching as a premium product. We're just getting started, and I will keep you (and others like you) in mind as we evolve. Thanks so much for the feedback.
