Founding Market Manager

Besty AI is the leading AI‑native operating system for the $120B hotel and short‑term‑rental industry. We’re a venture‑backed seed stage startup backed by Ridge Ventures, Grand Ventures, and Bungalow Capital Management.

We’ve raised over $4M from the heads of the Stanford & Berkeley AI labs and investors behind Discord, Fastly, Hugging Face, Covariant, and Replicate.

Besty was founded by a property manager who scaled from 0 to 30 listings in under 10 months, an AI scientist from Yale, and an all‑star team of software engineers obsessed with shipping a product loved by hundreds of paying hosts. We’re proud to serve 10,000+ properties around the world.
