Your vacancies fill themselves.
You handle the exceptions.
We're building an AI operations layer for BC property managers and strata firms. Right now we're recruiting the founding cohort: practitioners whose real workflows will shape what actually gets built.

addressing this
Managing BC properties means managing chaos. Most of it manually.
You didn't get into property management to spend your days copy-pasting messages on Facebook Marketplace. But here we are.
The inquiry flood
One listed unit, 100+ messages. Most are unqualified, duplicates, or ghosts. Your team spends hours responding to people who won't show up. The serious ones move on because you didn't reply fast enough.
The after-hours problem
Qualified tenants message at 9pm on a Sunday. By Monday morning they've already toured three other places. Your office hours are their browsing hours. Nobody's there to catch them.
The no-show tax
You book four showings. Two don't show up. One isn't actually qualified. You find out at the door. The time, the travel, the disruption to an existing tenant. It adds up every single week.
The strata legal loop
Council asks if they can fine an owner for short-term renting. You spend 40 minutes searching through PDFs, email your senior broker, and draft a response, for a question you'll answer again next month in a different building.
The renovation bottleneck
Tenant moves out Friday. You need quotes by Monday to minimize vacant days. Instead you're chasing three contractors who don't call back, manually comparing estimates, and losing $100/day while the unit sits empty.
The RTB evidence scramble
A tenancy goes sideways. Now you're screenshotting text threads, digging through emails, and merging PDFs at midnight. One formatting error could get your case dismissed.
AI is coming to property management.
The question is who builds it.
The US tools don't fit BC.
AppFolio, Yardi, EliseAI. They're built for American markets, American lease law, American workflows. When they ship AI features, those features are trained on California rent control, not the BC Residential Tenancy Act. Not the Strata Property Act. Not the RTB's evidence requirements. Not FINTRAC.
You end up with a product that's mostly right and dangerously wrong in the parts that matter most: the legal exposure, the compliance deadlines, the tenant rights that BC courts actually enforce.
AI is going to change this industry. That's happening regardless.
The question is whether the tools that emerge make you more effective and more irreplaceable, or get built around assumptions that make your expertise invisible.
Firms that adopt the right tools will handle more units with the same team, respond faster than competitors, and free their people up for work that actually requires a professional. The firms that wait will feel it in a few years and not quite know when it started.
This is being built with BC property managers, not around them.
I'm a software builder in Vancouver, a renter who understands BC housing, not a San Francisco founder who Googled “Canadian real estate.” I'm building this in partnership with the first cohort of BC property professionals who want to shape what gets built. The people in the room shape the product. The people who wait use what someone else decided.
An operations layer that handles the repetitive.
You handle the judgment calls.
The goal is AI that handles the repetitive end-to-end. It pulls you in only when a decision genuinely needs a human. Your time goes to judgment calls, not copy-pasting and chasing.
24/7 Leasing Agent
Responds to every inquiry instantly, qualifies against your criteria, books only verified showings. You see pre-qualified leads, not a wall of messages.
Tenant Pre-Qualification
Income, screening criteria, move-in timeline: handled conversationally before a human gets involved. No more showing up to meet someone who can't qualify.
Showing Coordination
Schedules, confirms, and follows up on no-shows automatically. Your calendar fills with people who actually intend to show up.
BC-Specific Compliance
Built on BC tenancy law, RTB procedures, and FINTRAC requirements. Not retrofitted from a US template. Cites exact provisions, flags gaps, leaves decisions to you.
What compliance scenario trips you up most?
BC-specific edge cases are exactly where US tools fall apart. Tell us your hardest scenario on the onboarding call and we'll build for it. That's the point of the founding cohort.

This offer doesn't make financial sense for me.
That's the point.
I need real feedback from real BC property professionals more than I need your money right now. So the offer is straightforward.
Full access to everything we build, free for three months. In exchange: one 30-minute onboarding call and 15 minutes every two weeks. That's it.
3 months full access, free
Every feature, for your whole firm. No trial limits or feature gates.
Founding pricing, locked forever
When we launch publicly, founding partners pay 40% less. Permanently.
Your feedback shapes the product
You're not testing what I built. You're deciding what gets built next.
Founding partner recognition
Your firm listed as a founding partner on the product (optional).
First access to every new feature
Renovation Coordinator, Strata Copilot, RTB Evidence Compiler: you get them first.
No obligation after three months
If it doesn't work for you, you walk away. No contracts, no awkward cancellation.
What I need from you
- One 30-minute onboarding call. I want to understand your actual workflow before writing another line of code
- Biweekly 15-minute check-in: tell me what's working and what's broken
- One question I'll ask on the first call: what would filling a vacancy a week sooner be worth to your firm? That number shapes everything we build
Built for people managing BC housing, at every scale.
Property Management Firms
Managing 20–150 units across Metro Vancouver with a small team. You know the inquiry flood, the after-hours problem, and the cost of a leasing coordinator who can't be everywhere at once.
Strata Property Managers
Juggling 10–20 buildings and a constant stream of bylaw, SPA, and CRT questions from councils. You need answers faster than you can dig through PDFs. They need to be right.
Self-Managing Landlords
You manage 2–5 properties between a day job and everything else. Every vacancy is a weekend project. Every dispute is a legal maze you navigate alone. The $3,000/month tools weren't built for your scale.

Not chasing the AI wave. Building because I got tired of watching a solvable problem stay unsolved.

A local bet on a real problem.
I'm a software builder in Vancouver. I pay BC rent. I've navigated BC landlord-tenant law as a tenant. I've watched friends who manage properties lose evenings and weekends to work that should take minutes.
I'm not a property manager. I'll say that plainly. That's exactly why I need you. I have the technical capability to build this. You have the domain knowledge to make it actually useful. Neither of us gets there alone.
Most tools in this space were built in San Francisco by people who have never read the BC Strata Property Act, never filed an RTB application, never received a notice under the Residential Tenancy Act. That's not an edge case. That's the entire compliance layer that makes or breaks your work.
I'm building this here, with the people who will use it, so that when it's done, it fits how BC property management actually works.
