PocketList Raises $2.8M In Seed Funding For Rental Info

Los Angeles-based PocketList, a new startup which is starting up a rental marketplace driven by feedback from current and past tenants, announced on Wednesday that it has raised $2.8M in a seed funding round, and officially launched. The company said the funding was led by Craft Ventures, the venture firm founded by David Sacks, and also included Abstract VC and Wonder Ventures, as well as other angels, including Zillow co-founder Spencer Rascoff. According to PocketList, it uses the "wisdom of the crowd" to share information about the rental market. The company currently only offers up info in Los Angeles, and says it plans to launch in San Francisco and San Diego later this year, Seattle in 2021, and Chicago and San Diego later. Nick Dze is the co-founder and CEO of PocketList.
