We're making finding home feel like meeting a friend

roommates+ is built by S4S โ€” a small team that got tired of watching students gamble on strangers from Facebook groups.

Where you live shapes everything โ€” your sleep, your grades, your sanity. But who you live with shapes it more. Our mission is simple: nobody should have to choose a roommate from a blurry group-chat screenshot ever again.

What we believe

Four things we refuse to compromise on

๐ŸŽ“

Students first

Built around student budgets, student schedules, and September move-ins. Everything else is secondary.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Safety is non-negotiable

Verified profiles and on-demand background checks. Meeting a stranger should never feel like a leap of faith.

โšก

Speed matters

Semesters don't wait. From download to "wanna view it together?" should take days, not months.

โœจ

Vibes are real data

Night owl vs early bird is a compatibility signal, not small talk. We treat lifestyle like the dealbreaker it is.

The story so far

From group-chat chaos to roommates+

The problem

The Facebook-groups era

We watched friends pick roommates from "ROOM AVAILABLE!! DM ME" posts โ€” and spend the rest of the year regretting it. Scams, ghosting, and zero ways to vet anyone.

The spark

First prototype

What if finding a roommate felt like a dating app โ€” swipe, match, chat โ€” but for the most important platonic relationship of your twenties? We built it in a semester.

Launch

roommates+ goes live

Swipe-based discovery, real-time chat, dual seeker/owner modes, and filters deep enough to exclude cat allergies. Students started matching on day one.

Today

Premium & AI matching

AI compatibility scoring, on-demand background checks, and the feature we're proudest of: meeting the people who want the same unit as you, before anyone signs.

The team

Small team, strong opinions about dishwashers

The Product Crew

Design & Product ยท S4S

Obsessed with making every swipe feel effortless. Will redesign a button four times and call it a good week.

The Engineers

Engineering ยท S4S

Real-time chat, matching algorithms, and filters that never show you a smoker if you said no smokers. Ever.

Campus by campus, they keep the community real, the profiles verified, and the vibes immaculate.
