BuiltInNYC: NYC tech's 35 people to watch in 2016

Harley Courts, Founder and CEO, Nooklyn

Back in 2012, Harley Courts founded Nooklyn, a tech-powered real estate platform that aims to help young people between 18 and 24 find apartments to rent or buy. While traditional real estate firms are relationship-driven and slow to integrate technology into their brokerage models, Nooklyn prioritizes experience and design, as 85 percent of Nooklyn’s users are millennials. While the process of finding an apartment may be unfamiliar and difficult to navigate for this group, the technology is not.
