Our story

Freshman year roommates to business partners!

Meet Madison & Maryn, two friends who understand how challenging it can be to find the perfect roommate, especially when you're coming from out of state. As freshmen, they both faced this tough task and were lucky enough to find each other. However, they knew not everyone has it that easy.
