The approach

Challenge & solution

The challenge

Finding a flatmate usually means either endless listings with strangers or compatibility apps with no actual rooms. GoodbyeMama had to do both — match people well and surface real rooms — without the friction that kills shared-living searches.

Business challenges

  • Match people on real compatibility, not just listings
  • Surface real rooms and flats with pricing and availability
  • Keep the experience low-friction for young renters
  • Deliver a consistent product on mobile and web

Technical challenges

  • Build profile- and lifestyle-based matching
  • Model room and flat listings with booking
  • Provide real-time chat between matches
  • Share a coherent experience across iOS and web

Our solution

GoodbyeMama pairs a compatibility-first matching flow with a room marketplace: users build a profile, get matched, browse real listings with prices and details, book, and chat — on a native iOS app and the web.
