Rent anything to anyone
RentStuff, a service that provides users with a way to rent out their possessions, has secured USD600,000 in a funding round led by Nashville-based early-stage investment firm Solidus Company, with participation from Angel Investor Management Group and a small group of angel investors. The service allows users to list any item they own except for weapons. The startup takes a cut from every rental transaction. Tennessee-based RentStuff is available in most major US cities and is relocating its headquarters to Chicago.
