NEW YORK CITY– Real estate technology start-up RentRedi has set its sights beyond digitizing the road to securing an apartment, and is now focused on deploying technology that would make renting as easy as ordering food or a rideshare. Ease of use is top of mind for the company entering 2020, Ryan Barone, RentRedi's CEO and chief technology officer tells GlobeSt.com.

The New York-based start-up just closed a $1.4 million venture funding round that TIA Ventures lead, which included well-known investors Andy Appelbaum, co-founder of Seamless and David Hirsh, former managing director at Blackstone, as well as RiverPark Ventures, who served as a major investor in the round.
