What 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 <\/p>\n Here’s what we chat about:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you thought this episode of the podcast was interesting, take a few seconds and let Ajay\u00a0know by clicking the link below to share via Twitter:<\/p>\n Click here to thank Ajay on Twitter!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n What was something new that you learned from this episode?\u00a0Let us know in the comments below!<\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a new episode every week, so subscribe to stay in the loop!
