716 Corporate Housing LLC
Software & Services - 1
NOTE TO JUDGES: I'm a Business Management undergrad at Buffalo State, passionate about creating positive relationships and delivering services that make people genuinely happy. This passion led me to start 716 Corporate Housing, blending real estate and hospitality to meet the significant demand for furnished homes in Buffalo NY. We see a diverse range of guests, from travel nurses and academic visitors to workers relocating last minute to help fill our city’s staffing shortages, families who have lost their homes, or individuals going through cancer treatment at our Roswell Center. I find joy in providing well-designed living spaces for those who've lost their homes or are in Buffalo for temporary assignments. It’s incredibly fulfilling to cater to the specific needs of these professionals and ensure they have a comfortable stay. As the business grows, I'm eager to expand our services beyond Buffalo and into other states, continuing to support our community by offering affordable, ethical housing solutions to traveling professionals. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to meet with you and share my story and my passion.
716 Corporate Housing provides fully furnished rental properties for multiple-month stays, offering a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional hotels or long-term rentals. Our properties are equipped with all the amenities of a home, including kitchen essentials, our homes are furnished head to toe, ensuring a seamless transition for guests.

Chips
Software & Services - 4
NOTE TO JUDGES: We are team Chips. We are apart of the Cornell Tech Startup Studio accelerator. In this program we continually work on our business model and plan, and may have more progress by April 25th. In this program we apply to the spinout process where we pitch our venture for a SAFE, if selected in that process we would be valued at 3 Million pre-seed. The selection for that is May 17 on Roosevelt Island NYC and I encourage all those to come and see the Cornell Tech ecosystem.
Insight

LinedUp
Software & Services - 11
NOTE TO JUDGES: In our previous stages of this business competition, judges have asked us how bars can control the capacity. Our bar dashboard which just got finalized this week, allows bar owners to dictate the amount of spots open for purchase for each time slot. This allows bar/club owners to understand how many people are coming at said times throughout the night to gauge how many people they should be expecting to arrive hours before. We do have plans to make this process automated in the future.
We also wanted to add that this app does not need any other hardware to work (Ticket Scanners). Tickets are redeemed when the doorman is watching and our tickets include a feature that does not allow screenshots to work.
We have funded this project ourselves and we are very grateful for this opportunity for a chance to present in Albany.
Thank you!
No Stylist
Software & Services - 13
NOTE TO JUDGES: I just want to say thank you for this opportunity, it means a lot, I ran out of time in the video to personally thank everyone involved. At the end, It seems that I was rushing and just wanted to clarify some things. The thing I need the most resources wise, is guidance. I am a first time entrepreneur and need some guidance. In addition I am an amateur coder and with some funding I can recruit people who know a lot more than I do to make the app its very best. In addition, I mentioned a tie in clothing line, it is in its early stages but I think it goes hand in hand with this idea and can be another great source of potential revenue. I feel that this idea, based on my talking with people, has an extreme amount of potential and use and would love to see it be fully developed.
