Congrats on the initial traction!

I feel like "co-living" is definitely a huge opportunity, and someone will get it right.

Curious what you're going to do differently than Campus and several other SF-based companies that had a similar model but couldn't scale beyond 15-20 locations: http://www.businessinsider.com/campus-co-living-san-francisc...

Lots of things - mostly that we have the entire buildings rather than single units, which is particularly important in NYC where we're operating right now.

We also partner with real estate funds and investors to purchase vacant buildings rather than leasing units off the market.
