Guest Bio:

In 2021, co-founders Sam Mayes and Jay Ullrich began their journey in the short-term rental (STR) industry by establishing a management company in San Diego. Today, their team manages over 40 units, consistently delivering operational excellence and guest satisfaction. As the business expanded, one challenge became clear to almost every host they encountered: the absence of reliable, affordable, and continuous 24/7 guest support. This gap in the industry was more than just an inconvenience—it was a problem that demanded a solution. Hosts needed something more than a traditional management tool; they needed a revolutionary approach to guest communication that would transform their operations.
