While Airbnb proved that people don’t mind staying in apartments, many also miss the conveniences of a hotel, including a concierge at their finger tips, shampoo in the bathrooms, and guaranteed fresh sheets. That’s where Sonder fits in. The company rents out entire floors or entire apartment buildings and turns them into rentable apartments for travelers and short-term stays. Francis Davidson started renting out his apartment in college in Montreal in 2012, and after meeting Lucas Pellan, decided to turn it into a business. Sonder has since raised over $46 million from venture capitalists.
