Walnut Capital working with CommunityVibe at CMU

What sort of progress did your company make over the summer and fall?

Provided that our platform effectively engages the key parties within a community — namely residents, property managers and retailers — our market research has involved extensive testing and market validation with the aforementioned groups. Over the summer, our team was involved in interviewing property managers from Oakland, Shadyside and Squirrel Hill to learn about the challenges they face with tenant management. The team spoke to over 13 with a select few getting chosen to evaluate our Alpha product. We wrapped up the testing in October with strong validation of the direction our product should take. For this, we are undoubtedly grateful to property managers from Walnut Capital, Reinhold Residential, Regional Industrial Development Corp. and Amore Management Co. for providing us with the insight necessary to understand how we can make their jobs easier. Our team is also grateful for working with Sola Talabi of Oxbridge Development Corp. and Kenneth Fullwood for providing us with a varied perspective of how small landlords would interact with our application.
