Description:
RentalCompare is a marketplace that connects people seeking event and equipment rentals with rental companies that provide those rentals. Live nationally for almost two years, the site (URL removed) lists over 500,000 different rentals from over 1,000 rental companies.
Our revenue model is subscription based, with recurring listing fees paid by rental companies listing their rentals.
Founded by people who have specific event rental experience, RentalCompare makes finding a specific rental (e.g., "red sofa in los angeles") fast and easy.
We offer a unique experience to the renter: keyword searching for rentals. Unlike general search sites which return category links, each rental item on RentalCompare is tagged. This eliminates time spent finding specific rentals and the rental companies offering them.
RentalCompare instantly connects renter to rental company generating inquiries and orders with no friction.
We have paid national, regional and local rental company accounts and seek additional capital specifically to expand our sales and marketing.
We expect to be profitable in less than 12 months, and seek in total $50,000 a month for 12 months, ideally from six, but up to twelve angel investors.
