STRBrain Revenue (2022)
STRBrain generated $30K in revenue in 2022.
SRT Brain (strbrain.com) is a bootstrapped short-term rental underwriting platform that gives prospective Airbnb investors a ten-second property analysis covering projected income, average daily rental rates, expenses, and cash-on-cash returns. The company launched its first paying customers in late 2022 and operates as a calculator-style tool, not a mortgage lender, with a preset 30-year fixed mortgage model that users can edit to reflect their actual cost of capital.
Founded by Nochum Rabin, a 24-year-old former real estate broker, and co-founder Wesley, a computer science graduate who turned down a $170,000 Google offer to join the venture, SRT Brain is a team of three including an Italy-based developer. The company is fully bootstrapped, with Rabin having invested approximately $340,000 of personal capital, of which roughly $160,000 to $165,000 had been spent on development as of December 2022.
As of December 2022, SRT Brain had 12 paying customers generating approximately $2,500 in its first full revenue month, with a pipeline of $8,000 to $10,000 expected in the following month. The company's growth target is 2,000 customers, to be pursued through lookalike advertising, cold outreach, and a text-message trigger campaign tied to new property listings.

STRBrain Revenue
SRT Brain recorded approximately $2,500 in revenue in its first full month of paying customers, which Rabin described as occurring roughly one month before the December 2022 interview. The following month, the company was tracking an expected $8,000 to $10,000, contingent on several brokerage contracts closing.

Annualizing the first-month figure of $2,500 produces a run-rate of approximately $30,000 for 2022, which aligns with the extraction figure. Month-over-month implied growth from $2,500 to a midpoint of $9,000 represents roughly 260 percent, though this reflects a pipeline estimate rather than closed revenue. Given the company's early stage and the uncertainty of brokerage contract timing, GetLatka estimates 2023 revenue in a range of $50,000 to $120,000, using the lower bound of the pipeline figure as a floor and a deceleration-adjusted rate as a ceiling. This is a GetLatka estimate based on the founder's stated pipeline and should not be treated as confirmed guidance.
Rabin told Latka that the company had not done significant marketing prior to December 2022 and was preparing its first paid advertising campaign for the following week, suggesting the revenue trajectory was in its earliest stage at the time of the interview.
Founder / CEO
Nochum Rabin
CEO
Nochum Rabin, age 24 at the time of the December 2022 interview, is the CEO and co-founder of SRT Brain. Before founding the company, Rabin worked as a real estate broker, brokering approximately $55,000,000 in real estate in a single year. He earned roughly $200,000 in commission from single-family property transactions during that period and sold a $32,000,000 commercial property in Indiana, on which he estimated a commission of approximately 2 percent, or roughly $640,000 gross before splitting with a partner. The proceeds from that brokerage career funded his $340,000 investment in SRT Brain.
Rabin's co-founder, Wesley, holds a computer science degree and manages the technical side of the business, including the relationship with the Italy-based developer. Wesley turned down a $170,000 job offer from Google to join SRT Brain. Rabin described the equity split as close to 50/50, with himself holding approximately 55 percent and Wesley approximately 45 percent. This is an approximation Rabin confirmed on the record.
Net worth was not discussed in the interview beyond the implied equity stake. At a 55 percent ownership share and no disclosed valuation, a net worth estimate cannot be responsibly constructed. Rabin noted at the time of the interview that his wife was expecting their first child in March 2023.

Customers
SRT Brain had 12 paying customers as of December 2022, its first full month of revenue. The customer base included one lender, one brokerage covering 60 agents, and approximately 10 individual monthly subscribers entering their second month. The lender and brokerage together accounted for approximately 60 percent of revenue despite representing only two of the 12 customers.
Individual users can access the platform for free to view property details, with a $10 one-time purchase unlocking the full underwriting report for a single property. The $250 per month subscription plan, which covers 35 reports at an effective rate of approximately $7 per report, is the primary recurring revenue vehicle. Rabin's stated growth target is 2,000 customers, to be pursued through YouTube ads, Google ads, Instagram ads, and a text-message trigger campaign that alerts property listers to run an STR underwriting report at the moment of listing.
STRBrain serves 12 customers.
STRBrain Business Model
SRT Brain operates a hybrid monetization model with three revenue streams. Individual investors can purchase a single-property report for $10 on a one-time basis with no subscription required. A monthly subscription plan priced at $250 per month provides access to 35 reports, reducing the effective cost per report to approximately $7. Enterprise packages are available for brokerages and lenders whose agents or loan officers need recurring underwriting access.
As of December 2022, revenue was split approximately 40 percent from lenders and brokerages, 20 percent from individual one-time reports, and 40 percent from subscriptions. The company had 10 monthly subscribers entering their second month of service. The platform uses a preset 6 percent 30-year fixed mortgage rate in its underwriting model, which users can edit to reflect their actual financing terms. Profitability was not discussed in the interview.
The company's underwriting model incorporates average daily rental rates, projected annual income, furniture costs, platform fees, and other Airbnb-specific operating expenses, all editable by the user. Gross margin, burn rate, runway, LTV, CAC, and churn figures were not discussed in the interview.
