The Challenge

Good Bye Mama set out to solve one of the most common pain points in urban living, finding the right flatmate and apartment match quickly and safely.

Most rental platforms focus only on property listings, ignoring the social and lifestyle compatibility that truly determines successful shared living.

Custom filters for location, price, and room count make the search experience fast and intuitive, while the shortlist feature helps users save and compare favorites.
