A remote contractor role in building the Hostshare travel platform. (Potential for long term, full-time employment)

Our Company

Hostshare, who recently got covered on the My First Million Podcast (episode 451), lets short term rental hosts turn their unbooked vacation rental nights into valuable currency, allowing them to explore the world and travel for free (only paying for a cleaning fee). We are building hostshare as a yearly membership service and travel platform to disrupt a market that has a lot of untapped value with properties that are “unbooked” about 50% of the time.

Our leadership team is a combined partnership of successful real estate entrepreneurs and a premier idea lab and holding company called Blender.
