The inception story of Rentvine.
We have history here.
[ The early days ]
- David Borden is consulting at RentClicks, which is now Rentals.com.
- Jonathan Ewen started a website company called Bizingo.
- Jonathan Ewen started working on Property Stampede, which was essentially a PM Accounting software.
- Jonathan Ewen linked up with Dave Borden to help sell Property Stampede and the rest is history!
[ 2009 ]
- Dave's connections boosted Property Stampede, yet its limitations sparked Rentvine's future development.
- To pay the bills, Jonathan Ewen and Dave Borden created Free Rental Site to compete with Rentals.com.
- A notable feature from the past, the Craigslist Feed for Rentals.com, was widely used and is still mentioned today. It was crucial in sustaining the team during lean times.
[ The Birth of PMW 2011 ]
- Facing limited traction with Free Rental Site and lean times, Jon and Dave explored other options to generate consistent revenue.
- Dave did not want to pursue websites, however, he knew there was nobody in the industry who was doing it better and serving the industry well - a point that still stands today.
[ 2012 ]
- This was the year the first official two employees were hired, Becky Hopper and Jim Dubreville.
- Word of mouth kept spreading and more and more clients were brought onto the platform.
[ The Grind 2013 - 2018 ]
- Massive Growth and Changes
[ The Spark That Created Rentvine 2018 ]
- PMW was cruising with a stable client base.
- Clients had long requested a management software platform, making Rentvine a business no-brainer for PMW, which had a client base ready to support it.
- Jim Dubreville and Jonathan Ewen started building out Rentvine and brought in industry leaders to weigh in on the pros and cons of the software they were using.
- This resulted in a very tailored software that directly addressed issues with current platforms and enhanced the features that were working well
[ 2019 - 2021 ]
- Jonathan Ewen and Jim Dubreville started to get serious about developing the product and decided it was time to hire some help, especially someone with React (front-end development) experience.
- Danny Byland was brought on as the first official Rentvine employee and is still with the company today
- Between 2019 and 2021, Rentvine brought on more employees to build and grow the product and to prepare for Beta.
- Features were being added like crazy, code was worked and reworked to make processes more efficient as the software developed
[ 2021 ]
- Rentvine officially went to Beta in 2021 and was tested for about 6 months with hand picked clients of PMW.
[ The Sky’s the Limit 2021 - Present ]
- Rentvine was released to the public in April 2021 and has been on an upward trajectory ever since
- Rentvine has grown to about 80 employees (and still growing)
- PMW has grown to about 25 employees (and still growing)
- With key staffing additions, PMW has seen record months in 2024 and Rentvine continues to crush every unit goal that has been set
