Trigo

About

Trigo aggregates consumer rent history to help landlords approve better tenants and lenders write more loans. No solution exists to consistently furnish this rent verification to landlords and lenders today. The largest database has only 3% coverage of rent data. Trigo is a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) that provides this missing rent data set through a real-time API and web application. We are repeat founders with consumer data and finance experience across Harvard, Citigroup, Experian, and Amazon.
