Margot Schmorak
CEO and Co-Founder
Hostfully
Short term and vacation rental property management software. We help property managers make the most of every stay. As CEO, I lead by holding to high expectations for the Hostfully team and also prioritizing a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and celebrated.
Chapter I
The toughest challenges you've faced as a founder.
I cofounded Hostfully as a mom of two and was pregnant with my third child when we raised our first institutional funding round. We are a preferred partner of Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, and are the premier platform for property managers to serve tens of millions of guests each year. Hostfully has raised millions in venture funding and recently partnered with private equity firm Blue Star Innovation Partners to bring the company to the next level.
Chapter II
Your vision.
We are the award winning software to help property managers worldwide secure bookings, manage their calendar, and deliver a 5-star guest experience. Hostfully helps managers in 17 languages and 50 countries.
Chapter III
The impact you want to leave behind — for your industry, your community, and the women who come next.
I’m here to leave footsteps in the sand for any woman or girl looking to explore entrepreneurship. I also cofounded VC Backed Moms, a registered 501(c)3 California non profit. We are re-engineering the startup ecosystem for founders at all stages of motherhood with a private community built just for female founders who have raised institutional capital.
