Rent-A-BooA letter from our founder
Keshia Ware
CEO / Founder
Hey, everyone — welcome to Rent-A-Boo. Thank you so much for visiting. Rent-A-Boo has been a dream of mine for a little over ten years. I've been holding on to it because, in the beginning, I didn't have the capital or the funds to create the app. But now we're in the era of AI, and I was finally able to make it happen.
Rent-A-Boo started off as just a conversation between two friends — as a joke, really. About ten years ago or more, I was talking to my friend, and we were supposed to attend this event, and we both wanted to go with a male counterpart, but both of us were single and didn't have anyone. And so I said, "Wouldn't it be fun if we could rent a boo?" And we both laughed, and we joked. But then the thought sat with me. And I was like, well — what if you could really rent a boo?
And roughly ten years later, here we are. Rent-A-Boo is in existence, and everyone who comes and participates in Rent-A-Boo — whether you're a Renter or a Boo — you are keeping that dream alive. And I want to personally thank you, as the CEO and founder, for believing in my dream. (Add our gold heart icon here.)
Safety is first — and it always will be
I'm doing everything in my power to make sure the Renter and the Boo are safe. That is my first priority, and it always will be.
- Background checks for every Boo
- ID verification on both sides
- SOS with voice recording
- PIN identification at every meeting
- Public venues only — no houses unless the event takes place there
- Live session & location tracking
We partner with trusted names: Checkr handles ID verification and background checks for every Boo, and Stripe handles ID verification for Renters and all payment processing.
I just want everyone here to be professional, respectful, poised, eloquent — and to simply have a wonderful time at the events they'll be attending with our clients, the Renters.
I thank you all again for believing in me — believing that a company can be 100% platonic. Because a lot of people in this world need that. They just need someone on their side. A lot of people feel lonely and alone in this world, and I believe Rent-A-Boo will be the one to answer that need.
So thank you all for believing in me — and I want to personally welcome you to Rent-A-Boo.
— Keshia Ware
The house we're building
Rent-A-Boo starts as an app — a fun plus-one, a beautiful memory, a night you actually want to remember. But the dream was never only the app. When the house scales, I want a real Rent-A-Boo headquarters: one place where everything about this feels like hospitality, not a booking.
The Spa & Bathhouse
Showers, a proper spa, and a quiet hour to breathe before a date. Sometimes you need a hot towel and ten minutes to yourself before you can be anybody's plus-one.
The Rent-A-Boo Living Quarters
Ten private boutique residences inside headquarters for any Boo or team member going through a housing crisis. Dignified, private, and always yours when you need a safe place to land.
The Grooming Room
A salon and barbershop under the same roof — hair, nails, brows, a fresh cut — so a Boo can walk in one door and walk out ready for the evening.
The Boutique
A luxury boutique on the property where our Boos can get dressed for the night, on Rent-A-Boo. The house dresses its own.
The Fleet
Cars for the Boos who don't have transportation yet, and rides for the dates themselves. Nobody misses a beautiful night because they couldn't get there.
The Rooms
Rooms of our own to host dates in — dinners, gallery nights, mixers, and matchmaking events. The kind of evening someone is still talking about a year later.
And that is only the beginning. I want Rent-A-Boo to grow into something so beautiful that everyone wants to be part of it — the Boos, the Renters, the ones who believed in this when it was nothing but a joke between two friends. If you feel it too, there's a place in it for you.
None of this is open today — it's the roadmap, and I'd rather tell you about it than keep it to myself.
The door is open
Your night deserves a plus-one
Come make a memory. Whether you're looking for a Boo of your own or ready to become one — there's a seat at this table with your name on it.
