Summary
RentFlow is a seed-stage Y Combinator startup building an AI-powered infrastructure layer that allows small and medium businesses to pay rent in a way that syncs with their uneven cash flow, rather than a fixed lump sum on the 1st of each month. The company addresses a structural problem where ~50% of U.S. businesses are late on rent monthly due to misaligned payment timing. They are hiring their first AI/ML Lead to build underwriting models, cash-flow intelligence systems, and data insights from transaction-level data. The role involves working directly with founders, shipping production ML models, and shaping the company's technical direction from the ground up.
