You’ve got a rotation, a start date, and nowhere to live.

The hospital wants you there in weeks. You’re somewhere else in the world, with no way to tour a single place, and maybe a family to settle too. 400+ people have already been housed through Gida in under 12 weeks. It shows you three places where the terms are set before you arrive.

The Problem

Every rotation starts the same way.

Weeks of notice, a city you’ve never lived in, and a housing search you have to win from a distance. It doesn’t matter how strong you are. The process wasn’t built for someone arriving on a clinical schedule.

How It Works, In Real Time

Three places, decided before you arrive.

Gida reads your dates and what you need first, and decides who is right for you before you see a single listing. Not a filtered search. A decision, already made.

01

You upload your rotation details

Your dates and hospital tell us what you need, so you don’t explain yourself to every landlord.

02

You see three places where the terms are already set

Budget, dates, and lease length are settled before you arrive. Free to swipe.

03

Next rotation, you’re already set

Your Rental Passport carries your record with you, so you never start from zero again.

What We’re Building Toward

Housing is where we start. Commitment is what we’re building.

Every move produces signals: a start date, a verified offer, a payment on time, a lease that renews. Today almost none of that is read early or kept. We are building toward a Commitment Score, a portable read on how people move, pay, and stay, so better decisions can be made for operators now and, later, for lenders and insurers.

Business Model

Free to browse. Pay only once you've chosen.

Browse & Swipe

Free

See your Top 3 and swipe through previews at no cost. No operator name or exact address shown until you activate.

Activate

$99 · One-Time Match Fee

Once you've picked one of your Top 3, activate to connect directly with that operator and move forward. Platform access, not a fee to unlock a landlord's contact.

Portable Rental Passport

$15/mo · Ongoing

Build a renter profile that carries forward — your commitment and payment history follow you, so your next search starts pre-solved.

Operators

Future Offer

Operators connect and lease with real, matched tenants. A dedicated operator offer is on the roadmap, not live today.

Why Now

Mobility is rising. AI is ready.

Institutional and cyclical mobility is accelerating, study abroad, corporate and military relocation, distributed work. AI-driven behavioral scoring is now technically mature and affordable, this infrastructure wasn't buildable at this cost or speed five years ago.

Meet the Founder

Founder and CEO of Gida. My work sits at the intersection of behavioral science and housing infrastructure.

Presenting Gida to the room

Long before Gida existed, I was researching the systems that fail people at critical life transitions — work funded in part by the American Psychological Association and the Institute of Politics' David Axelrod Reporting Grant, with support from the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Chicago.

Five years inside property operations taught me what a credit score never will: who actually shows up, pays on time, and stays. I've screened tenants, filled units, and managed the relationships that make or break a lease — that operator's eye is what Circe is built from.

That same instinct for reading people carried into the business side. I've raised capital, sold directly to the people Gida serves, and built the audience below it, all myself.

Research, operator experience, and hands-on sales, marketing, and fundraising execution are the three legs of Gida's thesis. I build through storytelling and direct community connection — work you can find at the links below.

For Operators

Fill units with renters who are actually going to move.

Gida sends you urgent renters — people with a job offer, a PCS order, an enrollment date already in hand. No showings, no ghosting, no 30-day guessing game.

01

Pre-vetted demand

Every renter Gida sends has already cleared commitment screening — verified signals, not just a browsing history.

02

Zero showings

Circe's Top 3 matching means renters arrive ready to activate, not tour. Less time filling a unit, less vacancy cost.

03

Demand & retention insights

As Gida scales, operators pay for Circe's intelligence — who's likely to renew, who's a flight risk, before it happens.

For Investors

Fund the automation of a process that already works.

We didn't build to find fit, we proved it manually. 400+ housed in under 12 weeks across two cohorts. $40K+ pilot revenue. Zero code. Now we're raising to automate what already works.
