\"NNLWhat would you do if you came back to your apartment after a trip abroad to find out that your roommate had disappeared with the deposit, the locks had been changed, and your stuff was missing? I know my response would involve a large number of\u00a0guttural screams and a healthy amount of crying.<\/p>\n

Ajay, on the other hand, used it as inspiration to build Roomi<\/a>, an app that helps people find ideal roommates. List or browse apartments, describe your lifestyle, and never get stuck with a nightmare roommate again.<\/p>\n

After a ton of research, Ajay built Roomi from scratch \u2014 learning Objective-C in a few months using free online resources, hiring a designer, and creating a minimum viable product (MVP). He’s learned from past mistakes and really did it right this time.<\/p>\n

If you’re still struggling to figure out your best next move, listen to this episode and follow in Ajay’s steps. You’ll come out with an awesome product.<\/p>\n
