Founder Story

Built by hosts who understand the operational chaos.

CoHOST wasn't designed in a conference room. It was built in the margins of late-night guest replies, missed cleaner handoffs, and the slow realization that hospitality at scale is an operations problem.

Hosts since 2019 · Operators first

"We started with a single short-term rental and the same naive belief most hosts have: this will be passive income."

By property eight, we were juggling seven different tools, answering the same five questions in three time zones, and waking up to verify cleaner check-ins before our coffee. The software we paid for solved 30% of the problem. The other 70% lived in spreadsheets, sticky notes, and our heads.

CoHOST is the platform we wished existed when we were drowning. Not another channel manager. Not another inbox. An operating layer that understands a property has guests, cleaners, locks, calendars, prices, and a human owner who would like to sleep.

Our mission

Give independent hosts the operational leverage of a hotel chain — without the overhead, the staff, or the late-night burnout.

The chaos we kept running into

Every feature in CoHOST traces back to a specific moment we wanted to never repeat.

2:47 AM messages

Guests asking for the WiFi password while we tried to sleep. Then again at 6 AM. Then again about checkout.

Seven tabs, one host

Airbnb, VRBO, Stripe, Google Calendar, WhatsApp, a cleaner spreadsheet, and a notes app held together with hope.

The same reply, 400 times

Check-in instructions, parking, coffee shop recommendations. Copy, paste, personalize, send. Every single day.

Scaling broke everything

Two listings was manageable. Eight listings meant missed turnovers, double bookings, and angry reviews.

Burnout disguised as hospitality

We confused being always-on with being good hosts. The guests were happy. We were exhausted.

How we got here

Seven years of operating short-term rentals, one platform built from the lessons.

  1. 2019
    First listing

    One condo, one calendar, optimistic spreadsheets.

  2. 2021
    Eight properties

    Hired a VA, built scripts, still answering messages at midnight.

  3. 2023
    The breaking point

    Missed a cleaner handoff. Guest walked into an unmade unit. We rebuilt our entire ops stack.

  4. 2024
    Internal AI tools

    Started drafting guest replies with AI. Cut response time from hours to seconds.

  5. 2026
    CoHOST

    Opened the platform we built for ourselves to other operators.

Hospitality + AI

AI doesn't replace hospitality. It protects it.

The best hosts are present, attentive, and personal. They're also human. CoHOST handles the repetitive 80% — the FAQs, the cleaner dispatch, the price adjustments, the lock codes — so the moments that actually matter get the attention they deserve.
