The Problem

Renting your actual home,
actually isn't great

So, most people just don't do it.
Losing out on monetizing their empty home.

Exposing your nice stuff

Leaving nice glasses, couches, art, etc to strangers wear and tear

Putting your stuff away

Every time you rent. Taking it back out every time you return.

Neighbor issues

Potential to upset nice, or nosey neighbors.

Coverage doesn't mean caring

Airbnb's coverage gives renters peace of mind to care less about your things.

Documents and laptop showing rental regulations

Public listings are monitored

Cities and landlords can easily monitor public rental listings making it impossible to rent apartments or in places with short term rental limitations.

Benefits

Rent your empty home,
with less stress

Less worry, less prep, less risk �� because trust changes everything.

Trust they'll be respectful

Having a direct social connection keeps people accountable.
They're not a stranger — they're a friend of a friend.

Cozy lived-in living room with plants and books

Leave your stuff where it is

Keep your home, your home. No clearing out closets, or putting away your things. Everything stays as you like it when you return.

Quiet residential street — private and under the radar

Rent under the radar

No public listings. Less regulatory exposure. You'd let your friends stay at your place. This is just a tool to do that.

How It Works

Just like Airbnb,
but with friends of friends

You handle the terms, contract and payment
with tools we provide.

List your home privately

Only people you allow can see that your listing.
Invite only, or friends of friends. You set the privacy.

Invite your friends, they invite theirs

Invite and vouch for people you personally know.
They vouch for people they personally know.

The graph builds on itself to create a trust rating.

Rent to friends of friends

You handle it directly — your terms, your agreement, your price.

The Bigger Picture

This is already happening,
One Degree just gives it a platform

People do this now with
email and Facebook Groups

Friends send out "anyone need my place in July?" to group chats, email lists, and trusted Facebook groups.

One Degree just gives them real listings, profiles and the ability to extend their reach.

This is what Airbnb started as

Airbnb began as a way to rent your actual home. But it became the most well-known vacation rental platform. Guests now expect a hotel experience, and hosts have to strip their homes down to match.

One Degree is for the people that model left behind.
