The problem it solves
Many hosts struggle with managing their Airbnb properties while traveling or busy, leading to potential income loss; co-hosting provides a solution for seamless management but lacks an organized way to find reliable local co-hosts.

The market, and why this works now
The rise of platforms like Neighbor, which connects individuals with extra storage space, reflects changing consumer behavior toward shared services. To generate initial revenue, consider partnering with local Airbnb host groups on Facebook or relevant subreddits to promote your co-hosting service. A significant risk involves the dependency on Airbnb's policies and algorithm changes, which could impact visibility and reach for co-hosts in your marketplace.
