# FAIRWAY

[fairwayrent.ai](https://fairwayrent.ai) · DVC portfolio company

## Why we backed FAIRWAY

The rental process is broken, and the founding team has spent their careers inside the marketplaces that handle exactly this kind of complexity. They bet that AI can finally make the renter experience feel effortless rather than exhausting. That combination of deep marketplace craft and the right technology moment is what drew us in. FAIRWAY is the kind of team that earns trust before asking for it.
