Who are we?
4stay is an online marketplace for student housing. We help students, interns and professionals connect with local hosts, roommates and room providers. Our primary goal is to match the right guests with quality hosts. We ensure that every listing on our platform is real. We do our jobs with passion and enthusiasm. Our founders and the majority of our team experienced housing challenges themselves when they were students. 4stay has many student interns who remind us daily of our core mission: to help students easily find quality housing.
Our story
In 2007 and 2008, founders Akobir and Faridun came to the United States to pursue their education. One of the greatest challenges they faced as students was finding housing. Dorms were full or too expensive, apartment managers wanted to lock in a one-year lease, classified ad web pages weren't secure and off-campus roommate matching was a disaster. Guess what? Hundreds and thousands of students are still going through the same challenges. They seized the opportunity to help students one by one, doing it the hard way – offline! Since then, Akobir and Faridun (and, of course, their hardworking team) have helped more than 10,000 students in 15 different states representing 30+ countries.
4stay recently launched as an online marketplace to help even more students. It has been backed by some of the same Silicon Valley investors who invested in Dropbox, PayPal and LendingClub.
