Our Company
Doorstead is pioneering a new class of risk-free property management (i.e. iRenting) that allows landlords to get a rental offer within hours. This upfront guarantee regardless of occupancy (e.g.: $5,500/mo starting in 28 days) is disrupting the property management industry with big data and technology operations. The company uses modern data science to efficiently model risk alongside operations technology that enables consistent high-quality service at scale. Doorstead eliminates vacancy risk, makes the market more efficient and gives property owners true peace of mind. Doorstead has a fantastic team with 5 second-time founders and veterans from Uber, Opendoor, and Expedia.
Our Industry
Property management is an industry bogged down by inefficient processes and misaligned incentives that create a poor service experience for owners. Today, technology is decoupled from operational processes, such as scheduling showings, back-and-forth communication and managing repairs. Additionally, property managers overpromise on rental prices to get people to sign and have no consequence for slow tenant placement, while owners have months of vacancy and lost income. These inefficiencies lead property-management incumbents to have a 43-day vacancy average, much of which is unnecessary. This leads to an $86 billion annual economic waste in the U.S. alone.
Your Role
Your mission as Head of Product Marketing is to engage property owners, build their trust, and serve them with propositions & content that make their lives better.
