Our take
After experiencing tedious rental processes as an international student, Donghao Li founded Tripalink to elevate renters’ experiences by leveraging technology. The residential brand has since added standard apartments to its property portfolio, opening up a new market to serve working professionals and families.
Tripalink has been profitable since the year it was founded and has continued to grow its revenue. It has also become a successful housing developer, building upon thoroughly researched housing preferences, and targeting centrally located areas that will see greater appreciation with time, a model that has proven attractive to developing partners.
The youth-focused, co-living rental brand has expanded across the United States, managing and developing properties in Tucson, Irvine, Seattle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and LA. Tripalink continues to enhance its technology ecosystem and accelerate market expansion across new cities.
