New York City · Early-Stage Investment Opportunity
Ten2Ten is New York's first tenant-to-tenant apartment exchange — a verified marketplace where renters pass apartments directly to each other, with no broker in sight.
Overview
"Someone in Williamsburg wants to move to Astoria. Someone in Astoria wants to move to Williamsburg. They need exactly what each other has — but they have no way to find each other."
Finding an apartment in New York City costs a fortune — not because of the rent itself, but because of the broker fee on top. Typically one month's rent, sometimes more, just to be shown an apartment. It can easily run $3,000 to $5,000. That money goes to a middleman who did very little to earn it.
Ten2Ten cuts that middleman out entirely. At any given moment in New York, thousands of people are all trying to move at the same time. Our platform is the place where they find each other.
Every participant is background-checked before they can list or browse. No scammers, no time-wasters — just a trusted, verified community of real New Yorkers looking to move.
When a renter finds an apartment they want, they pay a single $100 connection fee to unlock direct contact. If they have a matching apartment to offer in exchange, the deal is done. If they don't, they have the option to offer a Suggested Gratuity directly to the existing tenant — a goodwill payment that replaces the need for a reciprocal listing, and keeps the exchange fair for both sides.
The Model
Before anyone can participate on Ten2Ten, they are identity-verified and background-checked. Every person on the platform is real, serious, and accountable. Trust is infrastructure.
Users post their current apartments and browse others across the city — Williamsburg to Astoria, Harlem to Park Slope. The supply and demand exist in perfect parallel. We simply connect them.
When a renter finds a match, they pay a single $100 flat fee to unlock direct contact. Renters with a reciprocal listing simply swap. Those without one have the option to offer a Suggested Gratuity directly to the existing tenant — keeping the exchange equitable, broker-free, and human.
Market Timing
New York just passed a law shifting broker fees to landlords — but enforcement is patchy and renters are still being squeezed. The frustration is at a peak. There has never been a better moment to offer renters a trusted, direct alternative. Ten2Ten is ready to be that alternative.
NYC's broker fee law shifts costs to landlords, creating confusion — and an opening for a cleaner alternative.
With fees still persisting despite the law, renters are actively seeking alternatives. Demand has never been higher.
Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers move every year. Capturing even a small slice at $100 per connection generates significant, recurring income.
