Openigloo launched as a Yelp-for-renters, a platform where tenants could anonymously review landlords and buildings. Now it’s rebranding, aiming to bring landlords into the fold with brokerage services and data tools. But will landlords buy in? Watch as @lilah_burke breaks it

Openigloo, a site for anonymous reviews of buildings and landlords, has started working with property owners. https://t.co/Ccuw2dnLkJ

However you slice it, finding an apartment to rent in New York can be tough. Supply is low and demand is high. When openigloo debuted in 2020, it promised to make that process easier for tenants....

We posted a Tiktok asking NYC renters to request their rental histories from DHCR. The video went viral and the government website got flooded with requests. Thanks @BusinessInsider @RelmanEliza @julianamkaplan for speaking with @openigloo about this! https://t.co/WfSn7Mcr7J

TikToks teaching New Yorkers how to check if their landlords are illegally overcharging them on rent have gone viral.

Thanks for helping spread the word! #openigloo #reviewyourlandlord
@LeArielleSimone There actually is one called openingigloo, you can use it to look up apartments and it should tell you the landlord and management companies and you can leave a review . Please leave reviews for yours so we can help others

Transitioning from pro gambler to VC, "What does gambling have to do with investing?" is inevitably the first question that I'm asked. Grateful to have my story told in VC Journal today, to help demystify why strong gamblers make strong investors https://t.co/9rGox0FQWp

James Gettinger, co-founder of Gutter Capital and a former pro gambler, talks about how venture capital is like betting on fantasy sports.

Was such a pleasure working with @MayorsPEU to help shine a light on important tenant resources in NYC!
We had such a great time with @openigloo LIVE last week on TikTok discussing tenant rights in NYC🙌 Have questions about your rights? Navigating City tenant resources? Give us a call! Dial 311 and ask for the "Tenant Helpline"

Tweets like this always get so much positive support! Can’t wait for everyone to know about @openigloo ‘s existence. And then for every renter to rate their building and landlord 😊
Someone should make Streeteasy for renters, where renters can leave comments on listings about what it was like living there and dealing with the landlords.

Since last week, our team has been sprinting to help communities impacted by Hurricane Ian. Our new damage assessment features will add to our overall climate resilience platform, helping communities prepare for future storms and climate change.
Forerunner was founded to help communities prepare for the impacts of severe weather and adapt into the future. Since then, we’ve worked with partners affected by disasters like Hurricane Ida and now Hurricane Ian. We share some learnings on our blog. https://t.co/Tkuh4S0AnZ
