Category Standard

MadeComfy is a verified, high-value Australian short-term rental management company (founded 2015) that was acquired by OYO/Belvilla in May 2025 for ~$50M AUD. It generated ~$9.6M revenue in 2024 and managed over 1,200 properties. While the project submission text was low-quality (hyperbolic claims, lazy descriptions), the actual business has exceptional real-world utility and traction. The 'marketcap' of 50,000,000 listed in the submission aligns with the acquisition price, validating the financial scale despite the poor presentation.
