Futurestay is a fully cloud-based short-term rental (STR) automation platform built specifically for the largest and fastest-growing segment of the industry: independent hosts and “rentalpreneurs” with 1–5 properties. Unlike traditional property-management systems (PMS) built for professional managers, Futurestay removes complexity and offers an instant, frictionless way for hosts to launch and operate direct-booking businesses without disrupting their existing Airbnb accounts.
The platform includes a proprietary automation engine that manages reservations, guest messaging, payments, distribution, and calendar syncing across channels. Key assets include Airbnb-certified API integrations, direct-booking website technology, pricing and availability sync, guest workflows, Stripe/Square payments, a fully documented codebase, strong IP, and scalable infrastructure. Additional assets include brand equity, marketing funnels, email sequences, onboarding playbooks, and operational SOPs developed over several years.
Futurestay occupies a strategic position in a growing market driven by hosts shifting toward self-management, regulatory stabilization, and a broader industry push for direct bookings. Competitors such as Hostaway, Guesty, and Lodgify primarily target larger operators, leaving Futurestay well-positioned to serve the massive underserved rentalpreneur segment, which represents roughly 80% of global supply.
Significant expansion opportunities include international growth, partnerships with STR educators, deeper Airbnb collaboration, white-glove setup services, AI-powered revenue tools, and integration with additional booking channels. The platform is built for scale and can grow quickly with focused marketing and investment.
The owner is selling the business as part of a larger corporate restructuring. Futurestay is stable, revenue-generating, and operationally efficient, but requires additional capital and dedicated focus to accelerate growth. This sale presents an opportunity for a well-resourced buyer—whether a SaaS operator, STR brand, or private investor—to acquire a mature, highly differentiated platform poised for expansion in an evolving and lucrative market.
