'NestMates' is a new networking platform that makes it easier to find compatible roommates. Although there are a number of ways to find roommates online, this app promises to help users connect with like-mind individuals for a more enjoyable living experience.
While most rental platforms advertise available rooms to the entire user database, NestMates only shows available rooms to those who have a similar personality to the individual who placed the ad. This process helps to ensure that renters connect with compatible roommates who share the same personality and values. Once users have been matched, they can exchange messages directly in the app. For added security, users can keep their email, phone number and other personal information secret until they are ready to share.
