What Boom does
Boom operates 'the leasing operating system,' an AI-native platform for property managers across single-family rentals, manufactured housing and multifamily housing. Its BoomCRM uses AI agents to capture, qualify and work rental leads around the clock, BoomScreen automates tenant screening and fraud detection, and BoomReport reports rent payments to credit bureaus to help renters build credit, the company says. Boom offers a Rent Reporting API and two-way integrations with property management platforms including Yardi, Entrata and AppFolio, and says it serves more than 500 rental operators. The company was founded in 2020 by CEO Rob Whiting and CTO Kirill Moizik after Whiting saw family members struggle with housing instability during the pandemic, according to Crunchbase.
