The story

Founded in 2017 as a co-living platform matching renters to furnished rooms in shared homes, Bungalow built a property management layer on top of its marketplace. As the co-living boom cooled, the company pivoted to full-service property management for individual homeowners and expanded its institutional offering through Radar Powered by Bungalow™, targeting SFR/BTR investment firms needing sourcing, underwriting, renovation, and management. The embedded finance angle is primarily on the rent payment and capital side: Bungalow handles monthly rent collection on behalf of homeowners and accessed growth capital via Pipe.
