The problem
No trust
Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are full of strangers. You never know who you're actually dealing with.
Everywhere and nowhere
Listings scattered across 5+ platforms. WhatsApp threads. Subreddits. By the time you find something, it's gone.
Wrong filters
No one cares about "3 beds in the US." You care about Allston, 10 minutes from campus, Green Line, pet-friendly.
How it works
01
Sign up with your .edu email
Every person on Nest is a verified university student. No exceptions. No strangers off the street.
02
Browse the feed
Subleases and marketplace listings in one place. Filter by neighborhood, MBTA line, campus distance, price.
03
See who you know
Every listing shows how many mutual connections you share with the poster. A stranger becomes someone your friend already knows.
04

Chat in-app. No phone numbers needed. Mark it closed when you're done. Leave a review. Build your network.
What you get
Student subleases
Offering a room or looking for one? Post in minutes. Filter by Allston, Fenway, Mission Hill. Find your summer sublease before May panic sets in.
Student marketplace
Textbooks, furniture, bikes, electronics. Buy from the student moving out. Sell to the one moving in. Same building. Half the price.
The social trust layer — what makes Nest different
Every listing shows how many mutual connections you share with the poster. Someone your friend already knows isn't a stranger. That's the word-of-mouth trust you're used to, scaled to every student in Boston.
