Thank you for your feedback! :)

We spent several days thinking in a better name. We decided to keep this one, but we know at some point we will need to change it. This was more of a SEO strategy; to be more readable; and to stay easily in the mind.

For example: If it was "mylgbtqflatmate" would be so difficult to understand.

We understand that not everyone identifies as "gay" and we don't want to focus only in that segment.

Do you have any suggestion you would like to give? We would love to listen new ideas!! :D

That's right. Currently we are just based in the UK :) Soon we will expand in other countries.

Hi there :) Thank you for your feedback! :)

I'm not sure where are you from. But in London we have the "Flatshare" culture. Sometimes people move to a room without having a clue of who will be their flatmates (and it happen to me in my first home)...

We recomemend our users to meet their flatmates before having a tenancy. But this should be applied for anyone, not exclusively LGBT+ people. :)

Regarding "hookup site", we believe there's other apps better developed for that purpose. But actually, on Grindr (most used gay dating app) you can find enumerous profiles saying "Looking for room" or "Room available".

Hi Nathanaldensr, All sexualities and genders are welcome to our platform, including heterosexual people. If you create a listing (for a room or to show interest to find a room) there is the option for heterosexuals :)

We just provide a bridge to create a safe place for the community :)

adrien248on I created a platform to help LGBT people to find LGBT homes to live

My Gay Flatmate helps the LGBT community to find a safe place to live.

It is a 2-sided platform. People can advirtise their spare room, and they can also create a profile to say they are looking for a room.

This is not "AirBnB" style. It's for long term renting.

Happy to receive some feedback! I am a solo founder (not by option)
