Zumper is an apartment rental website which enables its users to search through real, live-time listings across the USA. Zumper's available apartment inventory is displayed on a map or in a curated news feed, on the web and in mobile apps. The company was founded in 2012 by Anthemos Georgiades and Taylor Glass-Moore, both from real-estate backgrounds, when they teamed up with Russell Middleton and Leah Jones, both former software engineers at Google. Zumper launched in September 2012 at the annual TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco where they made it to the Final of the Battlefield competition.
Zumper has since added a service for real estate professionals to post and manage their listings, on the web and in mobile apps. Listings are automatically syndicated to the major real estate sites.
The company raised a $1 million seed round from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, CrunchFund, New Enterprise Associates, Dawn Capital, The Experiment Fund, and the deWilde family trust.
It has since raised a $6.5m Series A investment led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
In October 2016, Zumper raised $17.6 million in Series B funding co-led by Breyer Capital and Foxhaven Asset Management, with participation from return backers Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Goodwater Capital, xfund, Scott Cook and Marcus & Millichap.
Listings are carved up by neighborhood and can be searched by map or curated news feed. Renters are able to fill out financial profiles to attach to their inquiries to brokers, property managers, and landlords.
