Customer Problem
The German rental market is structurally broken for everyone involved. Tenants face hundreds of competitors per apartment, inflated rents, and near-zero chances of success on overcrowded listing platforms. Brokers have been pushed out of the rental business by the Bestellerprinzip, making rentals unprofitable. Landlords are flooded with unvetted applicants and no quality filter. The result: a shadow market of illegal commissions, zero consumer protection, and no transparency.Business Model
Findyo charges a 15% platform fee per successful match – approximately €300 average revenue per transaction.Technology Description
