You’re Your Own Best Customer | Ryan Coon from Avail

Sometimes businesses come from identifying a need in the marketplace—other times they come from identifying your own.

Ryan Coon was a DIY landlord who needed to manage the time-consuming process of finding and screening tenants, signing leases, collecting rent, and performing maintenance, and he realized there was no current technology solutions for these problems.

So he started Avail, which now serves over 150,000 landlords and 400,000 tenants. Ryan tells us his story of leaving the world of financing to start a tech company and why merely having a great product isn’t enough.
