At the time the state of housing was sad, there was no innovation and every year it was getting worse. The idea was to create a housing brand that was digital, with hotel amenities and made finding and staying in a long-term apartment a seamless experience. In 2015, Ben Chester and I launched a basic version of the idea. A digital brand of apartments fully managed by us with a hotel-type service. Since then, Bedly has served over 3,000 customers, worked with some of the top landlords in the United States and expanded operations throughout New York, Boson and New Jersey. Bedly attracted over $7MM in venture capital financing from investors who have backed Uber, Buzzfeed, Twitter, and many other top tech companies. Additionally, Bedly attracted a team of 40 of the most talented people in the real estate - **Cyber Security Software at IBM** (2013-01-01–2015-01-01) — We protected the Fortune 50 banks and healthcare companies from getting hacked. Business was booming. ## Education - Founder Alumni of AngelPad, Founder School Entrepreneurship — AngelPad (2015-01-01–2016-01-01) - University of Massachusetts Amherst - Cape Cod Academy ## FAQ ### What does Martin do now?
