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. [2]
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.
