The Problem

Renting your actual home actually kinda sucks

Airbnb works for vacation rentals and investment properties, but not for the home you live in.

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.

🚨

Regulation limitations

Local short-term rental limitations, and landlords monitor public listings.

How It Works

Airbnb meets Hinge, meets DIY

You only rent to people who you trust, trust. You handle the terms, contract and payment with tools we provide.

List your home privately

Your listing is never public. Only people you allow can see that your home exists — invite only, or friends of friends. You set the privacy.

Build your trust circle

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 so you can know how well you know someone. Your network is only separated by one degree of trust.

Connect directly

You handle it directly — your terms, your agreement, your price. We provide DIY contract, insurance and other tools. You handle and keep the money.

Benefits

Monetize your empty home, without the stress

💸

Earn when you're away

Going on a trip? Spending the Summer upstate? Monetize your home while you're gone.

🏡

Keep your home, your home

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

🤫

Rent under the radar

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

The Bigger Picture

This is already happening,
just without the right tools

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 it a proper platform — real listings, profiles, tools, and an experience people are used to from Airbnb.

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.
