Summer was founded in 2021 by two Airbnb alumni, with deep experience growing and scaling venture-backed hospitality businesses. Summer has raised over $13 million in seed financing from leading venture capital firms and investors such as QED, Lightspeed, 1Sharpe Capital, Firstminute Capital, and the founding team of Casper. Summer is the best way to buy and own a second home. Our members pay less upfront, earn equity faster, and have the option to walk away. We do this by combining a rent-to-own program with short-term rentals. Learn more at gosummer.com/FAQ.
