Our Story · Southern Ontario to 47 Markets

We Built the System
We Wished Existed.

Twenty years as STR operators taught us what no software company could — that the real problem isn't technology. It's the gap between automation and the human experience guests remember.

Where It Started

20 Years. $25M. 250,000 Guests.

We didn't start as a technology company. We started as operators — managing short-term rentals in Southern Ontario when the industry was still figuring itself out. Over two decades, we managed $25 million in revenue, hosted 250,000 guests, and made every mistake there was to make.

The systems we built to survive became the foundation of everything STR Solutions A.I. is today. Not because we were technology visionaries — but because we were operators who needed something that didn't exist.

In 2024, we formalized what we'd built, packaged it for other operators, and launched STR Intelligence™ — the AI infrastructure we'd spent years building by necessity. Project Lighthouse is the national deployment of that system.

The Journey

Six Years That Built the Platform

2021

The Problem Became Personal

Growing a portfolio beyond 4 properties exposed every gap in manual STR operations. We started building internal tools out of necessity.

2022

First AI Automation Deployed

Guest communication, dynamic pricing, and maintenance scheduling automated for the first time. Hours returned. Revenue increased.

2023

100-Property Milestone

The internal system scaled to 100 properties. Other operators started asking what we were using. The answer was: something we built ourselves.

2024

STR Intelligence™ Launched

The proprietary platform formalized and opened to external operators. Dynamic pricing, AI communication, and predictive analytics in one system.

2025

$25M Revenue Milestone

$25 million in managed revenue across 340+ properties. The performance-based model — we earn when you earn — validated at scale.

2026

Project Lighthouse — National Expansion

Deploying across 47 markets. The system built for survival is now the standard for STR operators who are serious about scale.

Beyond the Business

Built Around a Life Worth Living

STR Solutions A.I. was never just about revenue optimization. It was built so that operators — including us — could run profitable portfolios without sacrificing the life they were building the portfolio to fund.

Automate the Process. Humanize the Experience. That's not a tagline. It's the reason we started.

What We Stand For

Three Principles We Don't Compromise On

🤝

Performance Over Promises

We earn when you earn. Performance-based alignment means our success is measured the same way yours is.

🤖

AI Without the Complexity

Technology should disappear into the background. Operators run businesses — not dashboards.

🏠

Operators First

Built by operators, for operators. Every decision is filtered through one question: does this make our owners more successful?

Community Impact

We Invest in the Communities We Operate In

STR success and community health are not in conflict. We actively invest in the markets we operate in — supporting local businesses, community programs, and sustainable tourism practices across all 47 markets.
