About my company Lodgeur Lodgeur turns bare apartments into on-demand lodging. This helps building owners boost their cash flow and property value by attracting a new type of renter that’s looking for the convenience of furnished accommodation on flexible terms. Our furnished living on-demand product gives traveling professionals and digital nomads the service and consistency of a hotel with the spaciousness and function of a stylish home. It's also perfect for people who hate moving and assembling furniture!Our long-term vision is to build the operating system that powers apartment buildings anywhere in the world to increase and diversify their cash flow by incorporating hospitality into their revenue management mix.---My backgroundI'm an Anglo-French founder who emigrated to Houston from London in 2018. I grew up immersed in my parents’ hospitality business and interacted with 30,000 travelers before earning my international management degree at the University of Bath (UK). I spent the first decade of my career traveling the world digitizing banks and their operating models across five continents. Looking for a new challenge, I started my Executive MBA at the University of Cambridge and helped two Silicon Valley unicorns come to Europe. I launched the UK market for Sonder and advised a food-tech company Impossible Foods on European market entry. Although hospitality is in my DNA, I’m a banker by training. My experience comes from modernizing banks like HSBC: developing more customer-centric operations, improving risk management, and fighting financial crime. This background is surprisingly useful in Lodgeur's mission to provide an operating system that combines hospitality operations and multifamily apartment assets. One of my hobbies is other people's startups: I mentor early-stage founders with MassChallenge, Founder Institute, and Capital Factory. I’m also a massive Gooner (Arsenal fan).---Need a quote?
