Kindred is a members-only home swapping network that unlocks your ability to live a travel-rich lifestyle for a fraction of the cost of a hotel or AirBnb. By exchanging homes with people they trust, renters and owners alike are able to take advantage of remote-work flexibility and explore new destinations without breaking the bank.
We have seen tremendous traction since inception and have raised $7.75M+ from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley, including Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer, Caffeinated, Elad Gil, and the founders of Opendoor, ClassPass, Clubhouse, Divvy, Gem, and Homebound.
The co-founders, Justine Palefsky and Tasneem Amina, are proven leaders from the early team at proptech company Opendoor ($15bn + exit), and have each separately built and scaled products that today do $1b+ annual revenue combined.
