Startup, New York, NY

The Room Ring is a roommate matching service currently available in New York City and San Francisco that focuses matches on transparency by linking people via existing social networks. We offer three products that cater to those in need of finding a roommate; whether you are an individual listing a vacant bedroom in your apartment, seeking a vacant room, or looking for a roommate with whom to begin the apartment search, The Room Ring is your answer.

Our users are matched with potential roommates based on mutual friends via Facebook so that they can vet prospective roommates. In addition, users can chat with matches and view lifestyle and behavioral preferences on his/her profile.

Once our users match, we offer a host of other products to make cohabitation easier and more affordable. Partnerships with key service providers (think handy, drizly, etc.) give our users exclusive deals and access to brands that they are already using at a discounted rate.
