Empty apartments, full potential: how Reeku is rethinking rent 🏙️💸
We pay for housing in 12-month chunks, but we’re not home 12 months a year. Consultants on the road, remote workers traveling, city people gone for weeks… a lot of apartments sit empty.
In this episode of Startup Sounds, we talk with Alikiah Barclay, co-founder & CEO of Reeku, about turning those empty nights into effortless income for residents and new revenue for buildings.
Reeku partners with large, short-term-rental-friendly landlords and adds a “done-for-you” layer: automated listings, dynamic pricing, and cleaners picking up jobs Uber-style — so tenants can just say when they’re away and let the system work.
We also dive into the emotional side of being a founder and what it means to be in the “early innings” as a Black founder in housing infrastructure.
