Watson is no longer operating as of 2023. We'd like to thank everyone who supported our journey.
Watson's mission is to make rent rewarding. We enable landlords to offer their residents cash back rewards for things like paying rent on time, renewing a lease, or engaging in a community event, along with deals from local and online merchants. Landlords get happier residents, increased leasing velocity, and higher tenant retention. Renters get a way to build equity by paying rent. Neighborhood businesses get local, sustained traffic. Online brands get exposure to movers with high spending intent.
Our vision is a more equitable housing model for 100mm+ renters, landlords, and neighborhood businesses. The company is seed stage, based in New York, and backed by VCs from both coasts, including Ulu Ventures, Antler VC, New Lab Ventures, The MBA Fund, and Switch VC.

Dwellsy is a site for residential home rentals, built on the radical concept that true, organic search in a free eco-system creates more value than the pay-to-play model embraced by all of the current rental listing services.
Renters should be able to find ALL of the rentals, all in ONE place. They should be able to trust that a listing is not fraudulent. And they should be able to quickly distill down to rentals that meet their preferences -- not be driven toward irrelevant listings from paid placement.
Owners and Managers should be able to list and lease their vacant units for free. Not free with an asterisk. Free. (You can never create true, organic search on a play-to-play model.)
We are on a mission to transform home rental market for everyone involved. Come join us!

Irrigreen designs and manufactures an all-digital sprinkler system that uses software-controlled precision sprinkler heads to deliver water uniformly across your landscape and reduce unnecessary water usage.
Irrigation is the biggest use of household water in the U.S. Thats nine billion gallons every day. Half of this water is wasted by inefficient irrigation systems that overlap and spray on sidewalks and streets. Irrigreen conserves that water.
The Irrigreen system uses as much as 50% less water, because our digital sprinkler heads spray in the exact shape of any lawn, eliminating wasteful overlap and overspray.
This means a 10,000 sq ft lawn will save up to 950,000 gallons in ten years, compared to a conventional system.
Irrigreen waters from the inside-out with just one sprinkler per irrigation zone with patent-pending digital technology adapted from the high-tech printer industry. Proprietary software continuously computes stream volumes, directions, and distances for each sprinkler; these digitally controlled watering patterns match the exact shape of any lawn,
Irrigreen simplifies installations for landscape contractors, decreasing labor 50-70%. With this major efficiency gain, contractors can sell and schedule more jobs per season, increase revenues, and boost profits.
Municipalities and Water districts can save water with Irrigreen. If 100,000 homes watered their lawns with Irrigreen instead of conventional sprinkler systems, water use could be reduced up to 10 billion gallons of annually (based on 10,000 square foot lawns and seven-month watering season).
