Bo Abrams, Co-Founder of Kommu, is passionate about creating solutions that empower people to develop a startup and share their homes with trusted friends and communities.

We discuss his Marketplace Blueprint framework, which includes recognizing a personal problem, evaluating its impact on others, researching competitors, identifying gaps, and developing a viable business plan. Bo highlights how his own frustrations with the affordability of short-term rentals inspired Kommu’s development. By building a platform centered around trust and personal networks, Kommu offers an alternative to traditional short-term rental platforms like Airbnb, making travel more accessible for Millennials and Gen Z renters.
