Tom and Phoebe, Rowbo's founders

Two people in London who got tired of watching good businesses go without.

Rowbo started with one website, built for one person. Phoebe’s mother needed somewhere to send guests that wasn’t a listing page. Tom built it over a weekend. It took a few hours and it changed how her bookings worked.

Then we did the arithmetic. There are thousands of people renting out a cottage, a spare annexe, a converted barn — good at hosting, busy, and with no interest whatsoever in learning a website builder. They rent space on someone else’s platform because the alternative costs a fortnight and a headache. That’s the whole problem. So we built the thing that makes it take thirty seconds instead.
