PRESS RELEASE — Rentana, an AI-driven revenue intelligence platform for multifamily owners and operators, has announced the close of a nearly $5 million seed funding round led by Zigg Capital and Benchstrength. Powered by AI and hosted in the cloud, Rentana delivers real-time pricing insights, automated public market analysis, and an intuitive user experience — giving real estate professionals the speed and intelligence needed to stay ahead in an evolving market.
“Real estate is mostly still operating on 1970s-1990s technology. Revenue management was no exception — until now,” said Dave Eisenberg, co-founder of Zigg Capital. “Rentana’s advanced, modern AI technology is propelling the industry into the digital era, providing real estate leaders the tools to make smarter, faster decisions that drive growth and efficiency.”
AI-Powered Revenue Optimization for Smarter, Faster Decisions
Rentana’s AI-powered platform transforms how property managers set their pricing and portfolio strategy. Their cutting edge AI technology analyzes public market trends alongside each customer’s private rental data to provide customized insights exclusively for that customer’s individual use. This intelligent pairing enables Rentanta to deliver real-time pricing recommendations, anticipate lease turnover, and predict revenue opportunities that are specifically aligned to each customer’s business, thereby empowering stakeholders to make more informed decisions, maximize occupancy, and stay ahead of market shifts in seconds.
Unlike legacy revenue management systems, Rentana does not share competitively sensitive information across multiple customers. Each Rentana customer’s private rental data is confidential, and can only be used for the benefit of the customer that provided it.
“Multifamily demand is booming in the U.S., but owners and operators are facing new pricing pressures — from inflation to rising interest rates,” said Julie Blanc, Co-Founder and CEO of Rentana. “Rentana gives customers the most complete picture of their portfolio and delivers tailored insights to help drive immediate and sustainable growth.”
A Team Built to Disrupt Legacy Systems
Rentana’s co-founders have a proven track record of transforming traditional workflows through technology. From helping to reimagine payments at Stripe to modernizing databases at Airtable and developing proptech that now powers Airbnb and Appfolio, the team saw an opportunity to replace the industry’s outdated revenue management software with an AI-driven solution designed for the future.
“Rentana’s team has built groundbreaking products that redefine industries, and they are bringing AI-powered innovation, fresh thinking, and world-class execution to a community that deserves more,” said Ken Chenault Jr., Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Benchstrength. “Rentana is the all-in-one revenue optimization tool that sets multifamily leaders up for success.”
John Monagle, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Benchstrength added, “Legacy revenue management systems simply aren’t keeping pace with today’s market realities. Rentana is delivering a long-overdue solution — one that finally gives property owners the speed, intelligence, and adaptability they need to compete effectively.”
Designed for Speed, Simplicity, and Scalable Growth
Rentana eliminates manual processes and empowers real estate leaders to make more strategic, data-driven decisions. Onboarding to the platform takes minutes, price recommendations update in less than a second, and customers that use Rentana save up to 10 hours of manual pricing per property each week.
Despite being one of the most data-rich industries, 80% of real estate professionals still rely on spreadsheets for critical decisions — leading to inefficient processes and wasted time. Other revenue management systems are slow, clunky, difficult to navigate, and often charge premiums for basic features without delivering meaningful insights.
Robert Waz, VP of Revenue & Strategic Initiatives at 29th Street Capital, underscored Rentana’s advantage over existing software: “Other revenue management platforms feel like Windows 95. Rentana feels like 2025. Its intuitive interface and seamless data accessibility set it apart, and any property owner that wants to optimize revenue and scale faster should be using Rentana.”
In a click of a button, Rentana serves up personalized performance benchmarks, actionable pricing insights, and dynamic dashboards to help customers optimize every unit from rent and renewals to specific amenities.
