Short summary:

Kiki, formerly known as EasyRent, a subletting startup, has successfully closed a $6 million seed round of funding to support its upcoming relaunch in New York City this fall.
Blackbird Ventures led the round with $4.5 million, while notable backers from the tech industry, including former Airbnb executive Harry Uffindell, Facebook Marketplace founder Bowen Pan, and former
Bumble executive Michelle Battersby, among others, also participated.
Kiki aims to match people looking to rent their homes for up to six months with potential renters.
The app focuses on individuals who travel for extended periods and wish to sublet their homes while away.
Kiki uses an “invite-only friend of friends” model to ensure security and comfort for both parties, and users must link their Instagram accounts for verification.
The app is set to launch initially in one neighborhood in New York City and plans to expand to other neighborhoods and cities.
