MyPlace is a social network for sharing private homes with friends and friends-of-friends, founded in 2019 by Zach Bell and Rameet Chawla and based in New York. The platform requires invitation by a friend and supports private groups and friend-network onboarding to keep sharing within trusted circles. It has a running beta community of over 3,000 members, a waitlist of over 7,500 people, and is used by thousands across 86 countries. In 2021 the company saw organic user growth of 40% month over month and a 50% increase in trips each month; 30% of stays that year were free. Across paid stays, MyPlace recorded $2.5 million worth of transactions between members last year. The company plans to use the new funding to bring the product out of beta and launch an iOS app in the summer ahead of the travel season.
