Our story
NewSublease traces its roots back to a common struggle experienced by many, including our founder, Rooney. During his internship at Google, Rooney grappled with a housing dilemma — managing the costs of both an expensive Airbnb stay and an unoccupied apartment. This struggle, however, was not unique to Rooney alone.
This shared pain resonated across MBA students facing similar challenges. Recognizing the widespread need for a more affordable housing solution, a group of like-minded individuals teamed up. They were determined to transform this shared struggle into a collective solution.
United by a common goal, this team of MBA students embarked on the journey that led to the creation of NewSublease. What began as a personal challenge evolved into a collaborative effort to revolutionize mid-term housing for grad students and young professionals.
At NewSublease, we understand the communal nature of challenges and the power of collective solutions. Our story is not just about one individual’s experience but a shared mission to make affordable and secure housing a reality for all.
