PadSplit, founded in 2017 by Atticus LeBlanc as a public benefit corporation, is the largest co-living marketplace in the United States. LeBlanc, a Yale graduate who has worked in affordable housing since 2005, built PadSplit as a two-sided marketplace connecting residents who cannot afford traditional rent with property owners offering furnished, all-utilities-included private rooms in shared homes. The company operates in 40 states and counts 34,000 rentable units on its platform as of May 2026, up from just 82 units at the end of 2018. PadSplit processes over $250 million in annual gross merchandise volume and takes approximately 8% of ongoing transactions, plus the first 10 days of a new stay when it sources the resident. The company has raised $14.6 million in equity across 3 rounds, with its Series B closing in 2021 after 77 investor meetings and a single yes. GMV has grown 70% year over year for approximately three years. Current revenue stands at $20 million as of 2026, up from $2.7 million in 2021. The team has grown to 240 employees, with roughly 100 in customer service. The single most striking strategic fact is LeBlanc's deliberate choice to build a marketplace model rather than owning inventory, citing Airbnb's 6 million units versus Invitation Homes' 60,000 houses as the proof point that a marketplace could reach far greater scale toward solving the affordable housing crisis.
