I have like 2 years of experience as a SE and I didn't get laid off but I quit to try entrepreneurship. Currently, I've built a website where people can look up an address and see what tenants are paying there. The site relies on user submitted data, like a Glassdoor for Rents. Site is called rentzed.com. I'd appreciate if anyone contributed their rent data and/or shared it with people they know. I have years before I run out of money so I'll just try a couple other ideas I have or join a startup to pay my bills if I need to. I think they'd be interested in having someone join them who has tried building a Startup.
