RentMoola Wins Startup of the Year at Metabridge (and Kelowna's Mayor is Pursuing Them Aggressively)

Vancouver, BC, June 17, 2016--(T-Net)--Accelerate Okanagan has announced that RentMoola has won the "Startup of the Year" award in the pitch competition at its annual Metabridge conference.
Castanet is also reporting that the City of Kelowna's Mayor Colin Basran (and the City) is aggressively pursuing the company to relocate its staff and operations to the Kelowna region in BC's interior (from downtown Vancouver). See their full article here.
And who can blame RentMoola for considering it what with Vancouver's completely insane real estate prices, and now noisy low flying airplanes and helicopters approved and apparently permitted to fly literally every one to two minutes right over the downtown core of Vancouver and Yaletown, starting as early as 6:30 AM (including weekends) and going as late as midnight, or later. But we digress.
(P.S. We think Ryan Holmes, CEO at HootSuite has it exactly right).

Editor's Note: RentMoola rasied a $5 million round of financing earlier this year in March 2016 from a combination of strategic, accredited, eligible and equity crowdfunding investors.. See our earlier coverage on this here.
