Our take

An increasingly complicated property landscape has had a negative effect on relationships between homeowners, renters and service professionals. These services must all be liaised separately, a situation which outlines demand for an integrated communication platform.

Belong provides property management services through technology that matches future long-term renters with homeowners based on their preferences. In addition to rental services, the startup also connects homeowners and renters with service professionals such as renovators, managers and constructors.

The company has focused its impressive capital funding on expansion and further innovation of its platform. Initially focused in California, Belong also covers regions in Washington and Florida.
