* Student.com is disrupting student housing, an asset class where institutional investors invest more than $200 billion a year.
* They are partnered with some of the smartest investors in the world, including Li Ka-Shing (Spotify, Facebook and Deepmind) and Jim Breyer (Facebook)
* They were a stealth company until they achieved a $110M in run rate before lifting the veil.

* They are the bookings.com for university housing, bringing yield management to a fragmented marketplace.
* They are a big data platform that already has immense data network effects, with 1,000 universities in 426 cities participating.
