The story
Boom started in 2020 as a consumer-facing rent reporting app helping renters build credit through their largest monthly expense. It has since expanded into a B2B 'Leasing Operating System' for property managers, adding tenant screening (BoomScreen), an AI-powered leasing CRM (BoomCRM), and AI agents for leasing and application support. Its rent reporting product is now also offered as an embedded API ('Rent Reporting-as-a-Service') for property management software and fintechs.
