IRIS
We built Iris after watching friends spend weeks doom-scrolling Craigslist, Zillow, Apartments.com and broker sites — only to miss good units or run into stale / scammy listings. Iris is a SF-only rental marketplace with a few differences from existing platforms: 1. Search by natural language (“1BR near BART under $3.2k”) or images (upload inspiration photos) 2. Verified listings only from property managers, owners, and authorized agents 3. SF-specific filters: rent control toggle, transit lines, neighborhood context What surprised us since launch: 1.
