Data is stored in a relational database (MySQL/Postgres) with Redis for caching, and documents and identity evidence are stored in private AWS S3 buckets accessed via time-limited signed URLs.

New product features Two pre-commercial capabilities are built and close to launch. Credit building lets tenants report on-time rent to build credit history via existing TransUnion and Experian integrations, for new monthly recurring revenue. Sublet detection uses image recognition to flag unauthorised sublets on platforms like Airbnb, a chargeable recurring monitoring service for landlords and agents - for website see here: https://firewall.laddrhub.com/ Hire a sales team Agent outreach is currently founder-led. With around 15,000 letting agents in the UK, a dedicated sales function would enable systematic outreach and accelerate pipeline growth. Improve conversion rates / digital marketing Individual landlords have provided excellent product-market fit and are price insensitive. Currently the level of search optimisation, website design and digital marketing is medium. With a trusted brand, improved marketing would quickly result in higher revenue.

I've relocated from the UK to Canada, where my partner is from, and am no longer able to give this tool the hands-on time it needs to grow. I'd like to see the business continue and grow under new ownership.
