Recharge 2.0 — Pay for homes by the minute
Recharge started in hotels providing luxury space where customers could Recharge themselves by taking a nap, shower or grabbing a conference call on the go. Starting in 2019 Recharge launched Homes to expand options for customers. This expansion enables hosts to Recharge their wallets by sharing their home while they’re at work during the day.

@rrhoover @_jacksmith Thanks guys. And yea we wanted to have more available options and much cheaper as well.
@rrhoover @_jacksmith @mannybamfo Curious how you see this playing out long term. Airbnb was cheaper in the beginning when it was owners with spare rooms who occasionally had people stay. But now... the vast majority of Airbnb seems to really be the same or more $$ than hotels. It's a different type of space, but it's not a budget option anymore.
I thought that it's pretty genius (from reading the press) that they're not having overnight stays, and so avoid a lot of city tax and regulation. @mannybamfo does that mean that people who can't airbnb out their places could potentially put their places on Recharge instead?
Yep people who can’t airbnb can definitely recharge during the day! Because we don’t operate overnight. Anyone can get started today. @_jacksmith
@_jacksmith @emmanuelbamfo What happens if someone rents a home for 23 hours? No taxes/regs?
I hunted this product when they were just hotels and SUPER excited to see them expand into homes carving their own lane against other home-sharing apps.
With Recharge, you can finally access private living space on every corner by the minute! No need to rent a hotel or home for a day at a time. If you have a conference or are running around the city for meetings and want to use a shower after the gym, Recharge enables you to pay for a home or hotel room by the minute. It's currently live in SF, NYC and LA. On top of that, they have a 80K waitlist with cities all around the world. You can sign up now and add your city!

Do you have a partnership with Ashley Madison yet? (joking - but it begs the question... doesn't this just become a platform for afternoon trysts and the p*rn industry and the like?😉
Coolio! Every time I travel I'm thinking of something like this, since I don't spend most of the 24h in a rental. Best of luck.
Pretty sure this was Recharge's first idea, to offer private homes as a pay-as-you-go offering for those needing to grab a quick nap right @mannybamfo?
@phontstudios If you host on self serve mode you can add a lock box or use our standard smart lock. If you host on autonomous mode we manage the key exchange for you!
This is dope. Question: Can I just hire my own cleaner to do the cleaning for me?
@kevin_forouzesh1 Yes you totally can if you like. We'd love to get you started anytime.
