Episode notes
From Landlord Pain To Product
- Jindou started HappyCo after tenant damage on a sight-unseen rental exposed the lack of before/after photos.
- He built inspection app mockups and 19 of 20 firms bought the idea before it was even real.
Accidental Pivot To Multifamily
- A multifamily client asked Jindou to adapt the inspection app for 110,000 apartment units, surprising him.
- That request shifted HappyCo's focus from single-family to multifamily operations.
