Venyooz, a new L.A. start-up, helps people find rentable space
Summary
Venyooz, a Silicon Beach start-up that helps people find spaces they can rent, launched Thursday. Venyooz was co-founded by Lauren Shapiro, whose background with nonprofits, politics and community building showed her how difficult it can be for groups to find space to use, whether it’s for meetings, events, classes or other forms of gatherings. “It’s a real hassle.” Shapiro and her co-founder, Alex Perelman, also noticed how much quality space businesses and organizations have that goes unused during off hours. “They could be making a lot of money in their off hours by renting them to the community,” Shapiro told the Los Angeles Times. Venyooz has a promotion that will give users a 10% discount on their first reservation or off of any optional venue services such as photography.
