The concept is a start, but implementation, branding, marketing etc. play a significant role in the success of bringing any concept to market.

There’s is plenty of free jewish job websites out there, yet I haven’t seen anyone of them being successful, not sure why.
I’m in shape, round is a shape…

Probably because we like to look at ourselves as a big market. But in reality we are a drop in the bucket.

I've seen frum recruiters doing well, their sites are technically such.

I think they came to early. Short term rentals have become more popular now.

I think its a volume game, Think about the branding and trust Airbnb, VRBO ETC built over the years... I've used lakewood host in the past and we were really happy, but they offering is very select and dont know how scalable it is. You do have companies doing it in Israel. But in the end in America we are a very niche market.

correct, we are a niche and it won’t be a billion dollar business but it can make someone a parnasa.

Also, NYC just basically banned airbnb.

Just a few questions about the "kosher airbnb":
  • Do you vet the kashrus of the customers?
  • Does everything get kashered between uses?
  • If not, what makes it kosher?
and a suggestion:
  Add a points/loyalty system.
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

A free frum website. Very noble.

Are you intending to make a living out of it at some point?
