Flat-Club Launches Its ?Trusted Airbnb For University Students? On U.S. Campuses

You might not think there could be a new take on the Airbnb model but Flat-Club thinks it has found one. ?The startup pitches itself as a sort of LinkedIn for short-term renting - or perhaps Airbnb for Students. Why LinkedIn and Airbnb? Well because - in something of a niche - it helps alumni and students of top ?universities to find short-term accommodation by leveraging existing social networks to ?create trust. Today it's launching in 30 U.S. universities with a competition between universities for travel money, gadgets and internships. Universities now using the service include Columbia Business School, INSEAD, King?s College, LSE, IESE, and others.
