Hoomie.it
Hoomie is a platform that connects university students and out-of-town workers with compatible roommates based on lifestyle, schedules, and values. Users create profiles, chat with matches, and form groups called "Ciurma" to jointly rent apartments that would be individually unaffordable. The platform also offers a community section with events and city experiences, plus free property listings for owners seeking verified tenant groups.

Problem
University students and out-of-town workers often struggle to find compatible roommates and affordable housing in unfamiliar cities. Traditional methods rely on random listings or agency fees, leading to mismatched living situations, high costs, and a lack of community integration.
Solution
Hoomie provides a dedicated platform that connects students and workers with compatible roommates based on lifestyle, schedules, and values. Users create a profile and are matched with potential cohabitants, allowing them to form a "Ciurma" (group) to jointly rent entire apartments that would be individually unaffordable. The platform also includes a community feature with events and city experiences, helping users integrate into their new city beyond just finding a place to live. For property owners, Hoomie offers free listings and verified tenant groups, simplifying the rental process. The platform is structured as a single, connected flow covering university, housing, and city life, with one profile that grows with the user.
