Why the Rental Industry Needs Tech More than Ever with Anthemos Georgiades, Co-Founder & CEO of Zumper

“I think the next generation of the
marketplaces are going to be full stack where
you don't just do marketing, you actually help the renter and
landlord through the entire transaction on one platform.” –
Anthemos Georgiades (21:33)


The real-world experience of queuing up for access to university

person?”
