What, why, and how?

Solving a problem

Living with roommates is something many people choose to do. They may want to save on rent, live in a nicer or better-located home than they could afford if they lived alone, or simply feel lonely not having someone else in their home.

However, the process of finding a roommate is grueling – scouring social media and classifieds, attempting to assess compatibility (sometimes on a time crunch), to then proceed to signing on to a commitment with this person, not realizing there may be loads of incompatible areas between you.

How it works

Room With Me solves this problem by offering a survey and matching system based on what matters when living with someone.

The first step is the survey, which asks questions about identity, behavior, and preferences as a roommate. We also also ask about how your matches should contact you – you can share your email/Instagram, or stick to chatting on the Room With Me chat page to avoid sharing personal contact information with your matches. After you submit the survey, we take your results and compare them to others in the pool, and determine who your best matches are.

The details of your top ranked matches are then emailed to you, ranked by best to worst match, as well as the categories where you didn’t match as well on (if any), so those can be discussed when you chat.

After you get this email, the next step is to contact your matches.

Who this is for

Room With Me is for people who are interested in living with roommates, either via apartment/house hunting for a new place, renting an open room in an existing home, or filling an open room with someone new where they currently live.

Markets we serve

Currently, we are only serving New York City (and close-by New Jersey), but we plan to expand to other cities. Please stay tuned!
