Problem
The modern consumer looks for an authentic experience that's safe and accessible. Hotels lack authenticity, provide antiquated service, and offer cramped rooms at exorbitant prices. Competitors rely on hosts, and don’t have consistent and safe services. There needs to be an option for people to find flexible travel and living options.
Solution
We're capitalizing on the massive consumer behavior trend towards remote work and offering a flexible travel and living solution. By partnering with building owners through revenue share agreements, we offer short and long-term tenants fully furnished and equipped apartments around the U.S.
Product
NUOVO connects people looking for flexible living options with safe, verified homes. Travelers who stay with us enjoy unique travel experiences, top-of-the-line amenities, inspiring design, and a flexible and seamless stay process. Owners who work with us have peace of mind that their apartments are being taken care of and maximized in the most economically efficient and profitable way.
At NUOVO, revenue management is at our core. Due to the lack of good revenue management software solutions on the market, we developed our own revenue management technology. Using machine learning and data analytics, we gather and process internal & external information to provide a comprehensive and automated system that optimizes revenue in real time.
Traction
NUOVO has been recognized by the NMHC (National Multifamily Housing Council) as a notable player in the STR space. We have seen unprecedented growth – 67% YoY growth in units and 308% YoY growth in revenue. We currently have integrations with 150+ distribution channels, presence across 6 US markets, and manage $75M+ across 250+ units.
