About CoHabby

We're building the roommate finder we wish existed when we needed one.

The Problem We're Solving

Finding a roommate shouldn't feel like a gamble. But for most people, it is. You scroll through Craigslist listings or Facebook groups, exchange a few messages, maybe meet for coffee, and then cross your fingers that the person who seemed fine in a 20-minute conversation won't drive you crazy by week three.

The real issue isn't finding a roommate. It's finding one who actually fits how you live. Someone whose sleep schedule, cleanliness standards, guest habits, and noise tolerance align with yours. Those details rarely come up in a casual apartment viewing, but they're the things that make or break a living situation.

How CoHabby Works

CoHabby takes a different approach. Instead of showing only listings, we ask profile and quiz questions about how you live. The answers supply signals for six categories, including personality, lifestyle, interests, housing, professional context, and preferences.

Eligible pairs can receive a versioned Synergy Score once both profiles have enough answered data. It summarizes stated alignment and differences so you know what to discuss; it does not predict how living together will go.

Current access, listing, and purchase terms appear in the app before you confirm an action.

Meet the Founders

CJ

CJ Emerson

Software engineer and first-time founder. CJ built CoHabby from the ground up after too many bad roommate experiences convinced him there had to be a better way. He handles product, engineering, and the parts of running a startup that nobody warns you about.

FB

Fatine Bouanane

Co-Founder

Fatine brings an international perspective to the co-living space. Having navigated roommate situations across different countries and cultures, she understands that compatibility isn't just about habits, it's about how people communicate and share space.

What We Believe

Compatibility over convenience

A fast match isn't a good match. We'd rather you find one roommate who actually fits your lifestyle than scroll through hundreds who don't.

Honesty saves everyone time

Our questions are designed to surface real living habits, not the version of yourself you'd put on a first date. The more honest your answers, the better your matches.

Privacy by default

Your email, phone number, and personal details are never shared with other users. All conversations happen in-app until you decide otherwise.

Clear current terms

Review current access, listing terms, and any price in the app before you confirm a purchase.

Where We Are

CoHabby is available on iOS, Android, and the web. Market availability and current supply can vary.
