Chillow is a mobile application on iOS and Android that aims to create a safe and easy space for users to find roommates and a place to live. Its most unique feature allows users the ability to review and endorse their past roommates. This feature along with others creates credibility on people's profiles, giving insight into how they are as a roommate.

Problem Statement

Roommates tend to get a bad rap. Yet, with rising housing costs, climbing student loan rates, and marrying ages trending older, many young adults have turned to living with roommates. In fact, there are 133 million renters in the United States between the ages of 18-33 because homeownership prices has increased by 55.9%. This is forcing young individuals to find roommates and agree to live with strangers, without knowing what the experience may entail. It's evident that having a roommate outweighs the frustrations of cost but something needed to be done to decrease incompatible roommate living.


Competitive Analysis

Craigslist was by far out biggest competitor with over 300,000 posts on the housing section everyday. Yet when we compare all beneficial features for users, Craigslist had the least options to offer.
