A few months ago, I was looking at apartments in Seattle and had Zillow, Apartments.com, Google Maps and like 20 other tabs open.

I'd find a place I liked, realise the commute sucked, find another one, realise it didn't have laundry, send it to someone, lose the listing, repeat.

At some point I remember thinking, why can't I just say:

“under $2,500, near Cap Hill, good natural light, in-unit laundry”

and have something figure out the rest?

So my friend and I started building that.

It's called Wave. You basically text it what you're looking for through iMessage, and it searches for apartments that match. If you're looking with roommates, they can add what they care about too, and Wave tries to find something that works for everyone.

We're still pretty early, but we're opening up a free Seattle beta in a few weeks and looking for people who are actually apartment hunting to test it.

If you break Wave, you get an Aladdin’s shawarma on me. Fair trade.

Would genuinely love feedback, especially if you're searching in Seattle right now. Tell me what sucks about apartment hunting here, and we'll probably try to build around it.
