Investor overview for Pool Rental Near Me — the peer-to-peer pool rental marketplace built for homeowners.
Investors
Pool Rental Near Me (PRNM) is building the peer-to-peer pool rental marketplace for homeowners who want to turn an under-used backyard pool into $3,000 to $10,000 a month in income.
We are the lower-fee, owner-friendly alternative to Swimply, Peerspace, and Giggster. Hosts keep more, guests pay less, and every booking is backed by $2M in liability coverage.
What we do
- A two-sided marketplace connecting pool owners with hourly guests
- A 10% flat host fee, compared with 15% and up at the next-largest competitor
- $2M liability insurance included on every booked rental
- A national footprint with 5,100+ city pages indexed and growing
- A founder-led education layer (e-learning academy, host tools, HOA and waiver guides) that turns owners into operators
Why now
Backyard pools are a stranded asset in most U.S. metros. The average residential pool is used fewer than 40 days a year. Hourly rental unlocks revenue without the wear and overhead of long-term rentals, and the category has matured past the "early Airbnb" phase: guests now actively search for "pool rental near me" by the millions each month.
Traction signals
- Indexed inventory across the largest pool-owning states: California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and the Sun Belt
- Organic growth driven by programmatic SEO across cities, hosting guides, and competitor comparisons
- Active host pipeline through the host onboarding flow and the earnings calculator
- Insurance, waivers, and HOA guidance built into the host experience so new hosts can list in days, not weeks
How we make money
A flat 10% host fee on every completed booking, plus optional add-ons (priority placement, photography, host pro tools). The model is intentionally lighter than competitors so we win on supply.
Differentiators
- Lowest take rate in the category. 10% flat vs 15%+ at the largest competitor.
- Insurance included. $2M liability on every booking, not a paid upsell.
- Owner-first product. Tools for HOA navigation, liability waivers, pricing, and weekend yield.
- SEO-led acquisition. A defensible content moat at the city and state level that compounds month over month.
Who we are
PRNM is operated by PRNM CORP, headquartered in Riverside, California. The team combines marketplace, real-estate, and SEO operators who have built and scaled consumer marketplaces before.
