Alec went through gener8tor in 2013, at a pivotal moment when Rentable was still early and the team was deciding just how ambitious the company could be.

Today, Rentable has grown far beyond its original marketplace roots, with software products like ApartmentIQ and Maven AI supporting data driven decision making and marketing automation across the multifamily ecosystem. Alec credits gener8tor as a key inflection point that helped the team move faster, think bigger, and build momentum when the company was still fragile.
