Given the short timeline, the one month will fly by! We expect you to attend one webinar every week and at least one 1:1 with the Paralect team. This allows not only us to get to know you as a founder but also for you to get to know us as a potential partner!

Venture Partner @ Paralect
Making short-term rental investing more accessible by allowing users to pool their money and buy a share of a property like a stock.
Chris and Joe are at the right stage for whom we want to work with. Their goal to validate that there is a market and then progress it to a working MVP is very much aligned with us - a strong problem first approach. Chris has a formidable design background and has owned rental properties, and Joe has worked in the startup innovation space for a couple of years, making them a stong founding team to work with.

People who are looking for a passive income but have struggled e.g. failed attempts at Amazon FBA.
Property investing has traditionally been a safe and lucrative investment, however the barrier to entry is extremely high.
